Lincoln and 200meg
 

Anyone in Lincoln area, primarily LN6 area, managed to get the 200 meg service?

Mine still says 152 is max speed.

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

I keep getting emails saying it will defo be here by the end of November. I am in Doddington Park (LN6 3xx). There is another forum member who is in North Hykeham who rang up for it but I think he is LN5. I think you can get it no probs if you ring up and ask but tbh I am happy to wait. I would ring up for it if it meant an increase in upload speed which is what I did last time but I don't think I am going to notice the extra 50mbits down.

General, you forget even customers like to willy wave the same as VM.

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

I phoned up and went through to retentions on 10/10 and I was upgraded.
I am LN6 in North Hykeham near the shops at The Forum.

I also upgraded to 200 and installed new SH - only getting 150. I am in Batley, West Yorkshire

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

Have you checked your SH2 config?

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

yes ... config file did say 200000000 bps

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

which shub is it and is it modem mode or router mode?

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

I believe the config should say 220000000....?

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

you are correct

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

DN35 and they have upgraded me from 152 to 162.

Not seen anything about 200mb but it that to everyone? Also on my SH2 where do I find the config file as I am struggling to find.

Cheers

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

I now see that VM are quoting the free upgrade to March 2016 instead of end of November 2015. The postcode check shows this area (LN5) as 200 mbts now. I think a call to retentions is in order as I'm out of contract and only have SH1. What do you guys think?

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

Yes. Don't forget about the impending price rise as well.

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

Have to say I am pretty disappointed, original message in my account was the 200Mb upgrade was going to happen before the end of November, I now have a message estimating it will now happen between April - Sept 2016!! What gives.

If I do a postcode search as a new customer I can order 200Mb.

Good job my contract is up in a month or so, give me a bit of bargaining power with retentions.

So whats happening with this upgrade, network upgrades not in place to upgrade everyone? anyone shed some light on it?

I'm in Hertfordshire if that helps.

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

it happens every time they do a rollout schedule and this time round they have made themselves look like a complete bunch of ***** because they said 90% of the country was going to be done by xmas. They half managed expectations last time because the rollout schedule was over 18 months so you were prepared and knew not to expect anything imminently. This time round is different though and I hope they get ripped for it.

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

yep when i last checked i was due a upgrade by the end of November,its now changed to..We’ll be in touch between January 2016 and March 2016 to tell you when your speed upgrade is ready,So no idea when that will happen as it does not say it be done between them dates,just that they let me know so could be any time in 2016.

Re: Lincoln and 200meg
 

Had an email tonight to sign up to 200mb which I've done, just got to wait. I'm in DN35.
