When I asked Virgin a few months ago about being upgraded from 4mb to 10mb they said I was in the Cambridge area and that would be done soon, I live about 90 miles from Cambridge.
You are lucky some people get a new IP that puts them in another country and cannot access the BBC iPlayer or Google thinks they are in Ireland or even sometimes America, so if you can still access all your normal sites then forget about it.
