This is indeed preparation for 100 meg (but don't read a short timescale into this), but more to the point, it is a significant increase in capacity.
Thanks for that Seph, I think Ipswich is scheduled for 100 meg for December but I'll take that with a pinch of salt as our upload increase was put back from the original planned date. However as with these things the unexpected can always happen so totally appreciate Virgin Media's problem with providing dates and being able to stick to them!

Thanks once again Seph.
