New Rollout timetable
Here's the new VM 100Mb rollout timetable. http://shop.virginmedia.com/content/...%2001%2012.pdf

In some cases it looks as if the work is going to be completed a month or two after the Virgin Media 'speed doubling' rollout is started. ie. Those of us on 100Mb will be upgraded to 120Mb between Feb 2012 and mid-2013. http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/news/21367...speeds-120mbit

So, presumably places like Sheffield will never get 100Mb. They will go straight on to 120Mb when it is enabled.

BBC News article says 50Mb customers will be upgraded to 100Mb so I would have thought they would offer both 100 and 120.

Thanks for pointing out it's been updated though! Everywhere finally has a date but still a few months til south gyle is upgraded. What exactly does the upgrade process involve? Would appreciate if someone could tell me.

Re: New Rollout timetable
I'm confused...

I've ordered 100MB (engineer is coming tomorrow), yet the timetable states March for Luton.

Re: New Rollout timetable
Free upgrade so what about me?, i'm on 50mb but do not have the super hub thingy i have the curved shiny black one, is it Netgear ? not sure as not at home right now.
Will that cope with 100mb or will i have to pay for a superhub?

Probably the VMNG300 modem, if you got it when 50Mbit initially came out. It does work with 100Mbit and a few people, including me, managed to keep hold of it and upgrade from 50 > 100. However official policy is one needs a Super Hub and that requires an engineer to visit. SH is free.
