100mb in Lincoln
Just rang up VM to ask about an upgrade from 50mb to 100mb. As it now says that your area can get 100mb. I got told that even though it is being advertised that you can get 100mb. You cannot till Jan next year.I want to know if this is true or false. Is there any one in Lincoln who is on 100mb right now.

Re: 100mb in Lincoln
Not sure about Lincoln but when I enquired about an upgrade 2days ago they told me its £55pm yet there website says 45pm without phone line so I don't think they know anything at customer services

From today, homes in Harborne in Birmingham, Lincoln, Seven Kings in Greater London, and Solihull will also be able to sign up to ultrafast broadband speeds of 100Mb. Virgin Media remains on track to complete the expansion across its entire network – half of the UK – by the middle of 2012.

Re: 100mb in Lincoln
it must be true dude because they have just told me the same thing. I thought they was fobbing me off at first but if they are saying the same thing to everyone else they must have made a boo boo.
I rang them up (Indian call centre) and told them i wanted to upgrade but on the condition that I don't have the superhub and they drop the config file down to my vmng300. The woman said she didn't know what i was talking about and would ring "the technical department". After being on hold for 3 mins she came back and said that it wasn't actually available in my area and that they haven't got a date when I could have it. I thought she was saying it just to get rid of me because i was being awkward and I was ready to post a sarcy message on the forum but then i saw this thread.

Re: 100mb in Lincoln
I'm in the LN1 area and i've just called virgin media, upgraded to 100mb with a 24hr activation window so maybe things have changed today
*EDIT*
All seems to be ok, will see how it goes over the next few days

Re: 100mb in Lincoln
Did you already have the superhub, and they just updated the config?
As they sent me a superhub last week, that is working.
I am going to be ordering in a few weeks, by the 21st I hope.

Interesting, did you get the upgrade remotely (config File) ?
When I upgraded to 50meg they just downloaded the file for me
I'm on the outskirts so may check and see if it's available
