You have been supercharged!

I've just received an email from VM:

Quote:

"Great news, your broadband has been supercharged on us.

Your broadband has been supercharged from up to 60Mb to a whopping up to 100Mb.

That's the power of our network.

And remember, your upgrade is on the house. Get ready to experience the full power of your new speed"

Ummmm... I was "supercharged" several months ago. Maybe their email system is still trying to catch up? :dunce:

Re: You have been supercharged!

Same message here!
I downgraded from 100Mb after being lifted from 60Mb last year, couldn't make use at the time so settled at 50Mb for a lower charge.
So if my 50Mb does change up to 100Mb again, is this the start of the 100/200/?Mb that has been discussed earlier.

Re: You have been supercharged!

I've received one saying that I've been upgraded to 50Mb. I thought I was on 152Mb for the past 6 months.:confused:

Quote:

Your speed's been increased to up to 50Mb which is 5x faster than Sky and BT's regular broadband^, so get your friends over with their tablets, phones and laptops to try it out. And when you're all online, you'll find that:
Film buffs can stream movies in HD with fewer interruptions

If only.

Re: You have been supercharged!

Got the email as well, despite it being done last year....

Good to know that VM are still "good" at communications, it's not as if they're a communications company or anything, is it?....:rolleyes:

Perhaps they're trying to factor in congestion :D

Re: You have been supercharged!

I am glad it isn't just me. I got an email saying that "after my recent enquiry into increasing my broadband speed" I have now been upgraded to 152mbits and I thought "bit late, I have been on that for a year and a half". I checked my config as well to make sure they didn't screw things up.

I am half hoping they have pushed through all the upgrades so they can say the current programme is complete. If I was a betting man I would say they announced 200mbit tier (and possibly the 100/200/300 move) in July with initial rollout in a handful of areas planned for November so they can say it is being started this year.

Re: You have been supercharged!

I have had two emails now saying I have been supercharged to 100mb, when in fact I have had 152 since October. Something in VM's systems is a miss.

Re: You have been supercharged!

What they mean is you can download now at 50mb/s instead of the 15mb/s lol
