I had a phone call from VM a few months ago after I emailed them, I was told LE3 6FL area would definately be upgraded.

However I have read on another thread VM have started upgrading the Blackbird Road area of LE3,

I wish they would do this area we have everything installed, all the cables laid my house is still wired up for ntl analogue

please reply if you have any news, from a desperate guy who has waited over 6 years for digital cable & who is stuck on 3.5mb

Parts of Glenfield are being released in the next few days.

Where I am (LE3 6DP) is "imminent". I saw work going on in the cabs last week, so shouldnt be long.

I spoke with some VM reps at Fosse Park on Monday and they are launching a big push selling digital into all the newly upgraded areas. They showed me the list that is due to go live next week and it was all Glenfield. I saw the cabs being done about a month ago.

Keep checking the VM postcode checker, but I am sure that you will get a leaflet/knock on the door when it's ready!

Im in the same boat with the crappy BT ADSL (managing to keep a decent 4.5/5.0 meg line thanks to AAISP) round here you are not far from me at all so I'd expect something very soon! Im sure you will get a knock on the door when its ready!

If only BT hadnt shut the old exchange on Hinckley Road! We'd all be laughing now! I wonder if BT will actually do anything about the crappy network around here when everyone with sense moves to VM?

Its a shame we will all have to pay a disconnection fee to cease the ADSL on our lines!
