It'll only be the same price as the old 3(and later 4)mb, and quite a few people paid for that

Before joining ntl I was with BT paying £29.99 pm for 512Kb. Before I left BT I got a call from them offering me BB for £26.99 pm (for being a loyal customer), I thought it was strange, beware of Greeks bearing gifts and all that. A few weeks later they upgraded the service to 1Mb and it was then that I discovered that my line was limited to 512Kb.

Soooooo, even though this weekend I am struggling to download at 1Mb with VM it is still better value than my old service especially as I now get Phone XL for £9.45 pm.

Hopefully one day VM will be bought out by Delboy Trotter and things will improve. :rolleyes:

Not what i was told a couple of days ago i was told that the 50 meg was going to be an upgrade on the 20 meg service if this aint true i want my contract null and void as i was told by retentions this was happening if i renewed my 12 month contract with them .

It is not going to be a free upgrade. You might get it because you were "promised" it, but I have my doubts.

I don't see it being £50, thats ridiculous. Probably all 20 meg customers will get offered it at a £10 premium over their current pricing.

then thats something u best take up with them then, but its in no way going to be a free upgrade they would loose to much money.

I will definately take it up with them as they put me on another 12 month contract under false pretenses

trying to prove it if it was on the phone is going to be difficult.

Not if the phone call was recorded and i said that the phonecall was being monitored as i was at work .

That would be £37+£10=£47 then. Near as damn-it to 50 quid in my book.
