New rollout timetable.
http://shop.virginmedia.com/content/...%2011%2011.pdf
This timetable appeared on the VM site today.
It shows availability in Coventry, but a postcode check still only shows 50Mb available.

Re: New rollout timetable.
Anything with an ETA of next year still listed as being planned I see.
Just a case of knowing what the plans are

Re: New rollout timetable.
oh dear, my area Lewisham was set for Dec'11, now put back to being 'planned'. VM may have backed off that further design was needed, so hopefully crossed fingers they will get the upgrade right, capacity etc. might be worth waiting for....

Re: New rollout timetable.
It shows Ipswich as Nov and 100Mbps was available around a month ago when I checked the postcode checker.
I'm currently on VIP 50, what would it cost to upgrade to 100Mbps BB? Sorry to jump on your thread OP. I can't see a VIP 100 package?

That will depend on the bundle you already have, TV, land line phone etc.
Having a land line with VM attracts a £10.00 reduction to £35.00. It costs £25 for the first 3 months. For existing customers like you, it would be best to ring customer services to see what the lowest price would be for your whole bundle with 100Mb.

Since you are writing in the interrogative mode I will answer you.
On 50Mb if you have a VM land line you will be on £25 for 50Mb, so 100Mb will cost you £10 more. If you are without a VM land line you will be on £35 for 50Mb. You will have the option of going for a VM land line so you get 100mb at no extra cost, or you stay as you are, pay £45, ie £10 more.
However, all this will be affected by what bundle you are currently on, because you may already be discounted. That's why I suggest you ring customer services.

Re: New rollout timetable.
I'm not meaning to be rude so I am sorry if I am coming across like that and I assure you that's not how it's intended.
On VIP 50 I currently have XL Telco, XL Tv with one TiVo and one V+ with movies & sports in HD with 50Mbps BB. I currently pay £101.46 and thought VIP50 was a standard package with what i am led to believe it is being heavily discounted already for all what you receive.
It's a standard package, I've never rung for any discounts before, I currently have the old 50 meg modem and would also want to keep this if possible. I've had a brief look online and can see the £10 difference P/M but can see a £30 activation! I wouldn't pay that and would of thought another 12 month contract would of been my activation payment.

Re: New rollout timetable.
I am thinking of 100meg. Does anyone know if the Wigan area is working well on 100meg.
Thanks.

Don't worry. I didn't take it wrong. "Interrogative mode" was just a reference to your use of a question mark.

Re: New rollout timetable.
The postcode checker says yes as i had already looked at this.
I was just more bothered about the actual speed as if i only got something like 80meg download i would not bother as my 50meg is very close to that.

Re: New rollout timetable.
If you're expecting 100Mb all the time and regard 80Mb sometimes as not acceptable I wouldn't bother running the risk.
Everyone can get 100Mb who is on 100Mb if the capacity is there, whether it's there or not depends on how busy the network is. Dropping to 80Mb at peak times wouldn't be considered a problem by VM.

Re: New rollout timetable.
In my neck of the woods they don't consider it frequently dropping to sub 10Mbps to be a particularly urgent problem.

Re: New rollout timetable.
I didn't comment on urgency, degraded service due to congestion is not a high priority issue though.
