I'm in Petersfield.

I have a Guildford postcode - GU31.

The Guildford area - Farnborough, Camberly, Woking, Aldershot, Fleet, Guildford - Completed.

But alas I'm still on 4mb. Can somebody tell me which area I'm to watch for news of the upgrade date?

If you click on the connection tab at the top of the page , you'll see something like the following.
cpc2-staf1-0-0-*****.sol2.cable.ntl.com
That is my address, obviously yours will be different.The staf1 bit says I'm in Stafford. Easy isn't it?Now you try , instead of guessing.It has little to do with postcodes.More to do with how your broadband reaches you.

So could someone please advise which region I am, as the Nottingham area is done, other than Chesterfield and Grimsby.

The region code is at the top of your bill.

Still nothing in Middlesbrough.

I'm in Nottingham and haven't been upgraded yet. I remember when it was NTL they had a link on their website that you could force the update on, can't find one on Virgin though.

Thanks for the reply, just checked the link and it does give the estimated time of the update. What I meant was, when we upgraded from 2-4 under NTL they had a link that forced the update into your modem.

The best way is to actually switch of the power to reboot the modem and it will receive all updates and revised Docsis file for your speed if upgraded, all I can advise is to do this periodically.

Thanks, I'll give it a go

But it's not two per month is it, just two in May. With 13 already completed, the average per month is actually higher.
