If i upgrade to 50mbit tonight...
If i did upgrade would it be safe to assume id get upgraded from 50 to 100 when it happens?
Or, more likely is there some kind of cut off date, i assume there is or there would be loads of Pikeys like me thinking the same thing ?

I don't see why Virgin would be bothered about anyone doing this, they'd be happy for the extra revenue.

If you upgrade your broadband speed before we give you the speed boost, then yes we’ll give you the new speeds on top when your area is ready.

Yes they will be increase to remain at the 10:1 ratio they currently are, although (as per the FAQ over on the Community Forum) sometimes they may not be changed at the same time due to network requirements

I upgraded from 30mb to 50mb this evening for the purpose of getting my speed doubled to 100mb not bad for an extra £6.50 a month I think.

Re: If i upgrade to 50mbit tonight,,,,
Just upgraded from 50 to 100. Post code checker was showing as double up from July onwards in my area and as we've only just been enabled for 100mb I couldn't wait, the impatient barsteward that I am. On VIP50 and cost an extra £7 per month, wonder if that includes the "reduction" in cost that is being mentioned for exisiting 100mb customers on might I get a little extra as and when. <fingers crossed>.
Oh and free install and activation too.

That really shouldn't have happened - you should have had an engineer for the upgrade to 100Mbit so they can install a SuperHub
