So, they have completed 25 areas in 6 months, thats 4.16 per month, therefore with 24 areas left it will take them another 5.8 months to complete (dec 08).

However, they indicate they will do 6 areas in July, if they kept that up it would take them 4 months which means they would be finished by end of October/early November.

So its still dependent on if your area is over subscribed. Mines not

Does anyone have a clue in which order they will upgrade the areas assigned to july ?

Virgin are implementing FUP because their resources will not handle advertised speeds.. How the Hell are they going to deliver Faster Speeds.. I'm confused

There's a multitude of ways, there's talk of having 20Meg and the new 50Meg on the new EuroDocsis standard which would in effect separate the bandwidth used there away from the 2 and 10 meg users thus freeing up bandwidth there, and I believe changing from QAM64 to QAM256 frees things up too!

Oh and

to CF

Just phoned up customer services to negotiate some money off our bill (my mum was paying Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£51 pm for services which we got down to Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£33 pm) to be told that Croydon was on their schedule for July.

Is this true (its not on the website but thats not been updated for a while), or was it a ploy to keep us from going to BT?

Aye, but I wondered if they knew something we didn't since it hasn't been updated for 8 days.

Keep checking it may change or they possibly did not have a jar of glue

Updated to the 8th July.

It says Northampton area complete but I've just rebooted my modem and I'm still on 4mb

I live in Kettering which I assume comes under that area?

A tracert to VM starts me off here "nrth-t2cam1-b-v115.inet.ntl.com" which I assume is northants.

Can there be a delay from when the web page says updated to the real update ?

TIA,

Dave

White Knight · 08-07-2008, 18:32

Same problem here, the website says that the Leicester area has been Completed as well, were still on 4mb though?
