Doubtful, to be honest, but it would be impractical for VM to stagger the rollout AND only increase individual's prices as their speed was increased. £2 is not unreasonable for a doubling of speed, but plenty of people will complain - look at how many complained about the 1p rounding up.

true, but as i said, we aren't paying the increase in price to gain us the speed increase, they are 2 independant things happening at the same time. if it was advertised as an increase in price to gain the speed increase i'd agree with a staggered price increase inline with the speed increase

I've had the 20Mb increase but not been billed the extra yet.

And no, accepting the £2 increase doesn't mean you accept any shaping, you are already subject to that by virtue of the User Policy and Terms and Conditions.

Re: Already charging £37

Hi All,
further on the VIP packages- there is a two pound rise in the broadband offset by the reduction in phone charges. All swings etc.
George.

Don't forget that Phone XL is going down in price and VIP customers won't benefit.
