I have heard absolutely nothing about it at work. Its all rumours which have been spread by the man down the pub

Yeah a mate of mine was told all the speeds were changing. And he only phoned up today.

I've been told (from a good source) that in may the following will happen:

2 will become 4
4 will become 8 or 10
10 will become 20

I was on the phone today with virgin and they said 4mb will be changing to 10mb. They didn't say anything about 2mb to 4mb but then, I didn't ask.

Hey Craig

well i received a letter a couple of weeks back stating that my 10meg was being upgraded to 20meg as of 1st may for a couple of quid more, but it didnt mention any other speed upgrades...i would imagine 10meg users will be upgraded first then the rest shortly afterwards, just like they did for the last upgrade.

Deano.uk · 12-04-2007, 23:17

the reason i bring this up is that i upgraded to a retention package with 4 meg, and they didnt upgrade me, and i had 2meg still, so when i rung up they said "you must of misinterpreted the guy, as 2meg will be 4meg from next month", after a bit more talking they realised they put my tv on a higher package an internet on a lower one so now im on 4meg.
however... if 2meg is being upgraded to 4 next month... surely a 4meg upgrade is coming too?

any employees heard anything solid about this?

watch this space?

Craig... this is a great forum so far

Not to be rude here but I'll repeat what ive said before in other topics about this very same thing...

It is ONLY the 10mb that is getting upgraded. Both 2mb and 4mb are NOT changing, the staff need at least 3 months notice of this and customers at least 30 days and NOTHING, i repeat NOTHING has been announced or decided about this.

Hehe I'm sorry but in my experience, this rarely or never happens

Virgin reps and customer service are blatantly lying to people. only the 10Mb will double in May. the other packages are to stay the same.
It amounts to fraud and obtaining monies by deception when they are telling these lies in order to gain money from a person signing up with them, or extending their contract length based on that information.
Come May there will be a lot of cheated customers complaining

Once Alex Brown confirms it then I will believe, until then its just a case of CS talking tampax.

I'm on 4MB and think its overpriced to compared to what is around on ADSL for the for the price I pay. The service is good, but the price is not competitive.

I think they need to up the speed or drop the price on the 4MB service.
