I am saying, based on the quoted reply posted on the virginmedia.support.broadband.cable page of VM Newsgroups by someone claiming to be from VirginMedia Technical Support, that I believe VM wish to replace all the older modems of those registering for the M speed uplift with Ambit 256s. I have not seen anything on VM's website stating that this is their policy. Anyone not familiar with newsgroups might like to start their enquiries
here. In the last day or so I have seen, on this or another forum, a suggestion that the reason for replacing older modems may be connected to attempts to deal with the problem of cloned modems.
Anyhow, I'm sure the rest of you who are still awaiting your new modems will be overjoyed to learn that I received mine this afternoon (after about 18 days, or 11 working days) but will be less pleased to learn that, contrary to some suggestions, installing the new modem does not give you your speed increase.
