I was recently informed by an employee of Virgin Media that my local exchange (Baguley) would be receiving a network update on the 21st of March 2008 that would change the downstream modulation to 256QAM, effectively freeing up bandwidth on the network.

My modem log still reports the network as being 64QAM despite rebooting the modem several times.

It's therefore safe to assume the network update did not occur.

Seeing as the server is in desperate need of attention and a scheduled update has not gone ahead, I am now considering leaving Virgin Media and looking for a different ISP.
