Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

So, they have completed 25 areas in 6 months, thats 4.16 per month, therefore with 24 areas left it will take them another 5.8 months to complete (dec 08).

However, they indicate they will do 6 areas in July, if they kept that up it would take them 4 months which means they would be finished by end of October/early November.

So its still dependent on if your area is over subscribed. Mines not

Does anyone have a clue in which order they will upgrade the areas assigned to july ?

Virgin are implementing FUP because their resources will not handle advertised speeds.. How the Hell are they going to deliver Faster Speeds.. I'm confused

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

There's a multitude of ways, there's talk of having 20Meg and the new 50Meg on the new EuroDocsis standard which would in effect separate the bandwidth used there away from the 2 and 10 meg users thus freeing up bandwidth there, and I believe changing from QAM64 to QAM256 frees things up too!

Oh and :welcome: to CF :)

Awesome, Northampton area in July, hopefully that includes my town, can't wait, uber online gaming. :D

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

Just phoned up customer services to negotiate some money off our bill (my mum was paying £51 pm for services which we got down to £33 pm) to be told that Croydon was on their schedule for July.

Is this true (its not on the website but thats not been updated for a while), or was it a ploy to keep us from going to BT?

Still TBC

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

Aye, but I wondered if they knew something we didn't since it hasn't been updated for 8 days.

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

Keep checking it may change or they possibly did not have a jar of glue;)

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

Updated to the 8th July.

It says Northampton area complete but I've just rebooted my modem and I'm still on 4mb :( I live in Kettering which I assume comes under that area?

A tracert to VM starts me off here "nrth-t2cam1-b-v115.inet.ntl.com" which I assume is northants.

Can there be a delay from when the web page says updated to the real update ?

TIA,

Dave
