Ben I asked before about this upgrade being open and you said it was. Does that still stand now we've had letters? eg. a customer changes his or her package/broadband speed. would they then still be upgraded to the correct speed ?

As I'm on 50mb I always thought the .5 was 50mb... The engineer say no it's actually only half of 1mb!!! You just have to laff... lol

Look on the bright side it beats dial up :D

Not been following any of your threads, so forgive me if this has been covered already... What are VM saying to you about those speeds? Do you have a High Utilisation ticket open for it?

I thought nobody would be upgraded until the summer?

I got a letter stating that because I am a old customer I will be getting a upgrade from 50 to 120 Mbits.
