okay here we go. I got through to India to start off with and was told that my area hadn't been enabled yet (which I already knew) and I asked for it early. I was told that she couldn't do it but as I had been with VM for 12 years I was entitled to a loyalty discount. I said I wasn't interested in a discount and wanted the upgrade pushed through early so she put me on hold and presumably put me through to retentions. The english person I spoke to said that she would put the code on my account for it but she didn't think it would actually go through until the area had been enabled. I explained to her that other peeps had rang up and it had been put through no probs and all they had to do was agree to another 1 year contract. She said that the only way peeps would have to sign up for another year is if there was an equipment change and that for 152mbits I would need a shub2. I said I was expecting that and it wouldn't be a problem. She has put the code for 152mbits on the account and tied it to the delivery of the shub2 which is coming Tuesday and when I get it activated it will pull the config for 152mbits.

Sooooooooo, here is the magic question because one of two things has happened. Is everything going to go as described above (which will make me as happy as Larry) or have I been screwed into having a shub2 which a I don't need with a 1 year contract? I hate to be a pesimist but given my prior experiences with VM I am going to go for option 2.
