i asked as previously when i upgraded from 10mb to 20mb i never got more than 12mb.
was put on hold for 2 mins and then informed it would be :

£30 activation fee,first 3 months an additional £2.56, after that £ 7.55, no mention of spotify.
virgin media site states first 3 months @ no extra charge .

so who is correct, virgin site or indian call center ?
and does anybody know if 30mb in nn4 northampton postcode(area ref 31) actually delivers 30mb ?

while i was waiting for feedback, i thought i would try the upgrade feature on website, but i cant do it as it asks for an alternative number in addition to my virgin landline ^^

If you’ve got our up to 10Mb or up to 20Mb broadband, turn things up a notch to up to 30Mb and pay no extra for three months.

Our up to 30Mb broadband is a star performer - it's four times faster than the UK average download speed, according to independent tests by Ofcom. On average over 24 hours, our up to 30Mb broadband reached speeds of just over 30Mb for a wired connection*. (As with all broadband, speeds you receive wirelessly are likely to be lower than this and depend on your home and your computer.)

Here’s all the detail:

Upgrade from up to 10Mb or up to 20Mb broadband to up to 30Mb
Pay no extra for three months

Unlimited downloads1
We’ll give you a Virgin Media Super Hub wireless modem/router
10GB online storage (plenty for 4000 photos, 2000 music tracks, 16 videos or 800 documents)
No installation needed
Spotify Premium free for 6 months

There’s a one-off activation fee of £30.
The website is correct you would better to upgrade online

Yes you can just put in your virgin landline number twice i always do that.

The difference in price between 10mb and 30mb is £5. You would only a extra £5 a month after 3 months.
