Re: Virgin Media announces 50mb lines from next year.
The new 50mb service with pre DOCSIS 3 equipment should be with us soon (hopefully). I cant see Virgin offering free swaps but a chargeable install (standard £30 at the moment) will probably apply.

Like a "digital migration" (from analogue TV) a technician is required to make the swap over, I can see the same happening for this service. Its a channel bonding modem not just a straight up cable modem so a technician will be required for the initial setup and to make sure that the signal levels at the tap are fine.

Eventually, self installs will be offered, the same way that V+ installs are handled now (they will be quickstart soon to).

(remember none of this is confirmed, im just speculating!)

Roll on 50mb!
