Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Makes sense. There have been a couple of outages for upgrades over the past few months so am hoping that means it may be coming but will wait and see :)

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

1 gig comes to my area in Swansea on OCT 31st..So they Say..Thankfully I don't need it and can't afford it anyway. Can just about afford my 350gig..

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Suspect Newcastle will take a while the, as it's mostly old NTL (I believe!)

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Nope, it's ex-Telewest.

Though that isn't relevant. The regions that already have 1gig are a mix of ex-NTL, C&W and Telewest areas.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Had 50% chance of being right haha... i was just under the impression it'd take longer to upgrade the old telewest areas

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Over the 4 years I have lived here, my IP has been very sticky, and even despite account changes (terminate in my name, sign up in wifes for better deal, and vice versa) has stayed, I assume based on router MAC, except when I changed from a Ubiquiti USG to a UDM-Pro.

Until the last few months, when after short outages it has changed a couple of times. I've spent a lot of time keeping an eye on one.network as Cityfibre are slowly rolling out to Ipswich, and VM seem to be doing quite a few works too.

I'm vaguely hopeful this means Gig:1 soon.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Just been upgraded to 600mb from 500 mb I never even asked for the upgrade either

That's this https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...php?t=33709132

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Wonder if upload is still 35 for 600....

Check the other thread for your answer ;)

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Ah i missed that. I logged into myVM and while it no longer shows me as on their "fastest broadband" when i click upgrade, I get an error so not sure how much it'd cost me to bump up

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

I wonder when Swansea will get the 600mb upgrade?

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

There is a separate thread for the 600Mb upgrade so I'd ask on there. It's not directly connected to the Gig1 rollout.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Now in London and Northern Ireland

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
 

Does this cover those who connect via Luton? I'm in Welwyn Garden City so we could sort of be considered a surrounding area to London, but I believe we come under Luton or at least we did when it was NTL.

The website is confusing because on the first page after entering my postcode I get this:

Attachment 28655

But on the next pages the green banner says the most I can get is 600Mb and if I try to order I get a message saying 1gig is not currently available in my area.

That first image though isn't very clear does it mean all those speeds are available to me (which they don't seem to be) or are there meant to be different colours for those which are avaliable.
