I doubt it. As the trials are already underway I can see them making an announcement with a big press release over summer with the rollout starting in September time. The problem with these things is that when they announce it people expect it to happen toute suite and it doesn't. There will be a rollout schedule which will cover the best part of two years and only a handful of areas will be enabled before xmas. The majority of the country will be planned in for next year with a 3 month window and we all know from past experience that they do that to make you think you haven't got long to wait and then it gets put back 3 months...........and then another 3 months. Like we all said last time, they had might as well have not bothered telling anyone because it took so long to do and then we all wouldn't have been disappointed. The problem is though, VM need to advertise that they are the fastest so the press machine goes into over drive and as long as they have got a few areas on it, they can say the new speeds are available. I am not moaning or being pessimistic, it is just the way it is and what has happened for the last 2 upgrades. I am pretty sure the initial rollout schedule had everyone done by March last year and they are still at it now. As much as I would like 300/24 (or whatever), I am not expecting an upgrade till at least September next year.
