Yay indeed... the capacity upgrades haven't been done yet but they've done the uplift anyway to save face, and my previously spot on 20Mbit is now running like this

Should be fairly smooth not give you motion sickness just looking at it, this from VM's own FTP.

I think it's been done here (Wolverhampton) but I'm only getting the 10mb download speed from the virgin media FTP.

From anywhere else i'm still getting the 4mb download speed

As there could be up to 8 downstreams on the uBR even sharing a uBR doesn't mean too much. Persuing with Virgin.

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer

It doesn't say so, but the page has been updated.

It's now saying: Wolverhampton area, Birmingham (Perry Barr) are complete.

Now that only leaves: Liverpool area, Newton Abbot area, Bradford and Sheffield area to be done in September, so I'm guessing these 3 areas will be done today and tomorrow, If they stick to their deadlines.

Are you looking at the same page as me? lol

If they stick to their deadlines, they should also do Haringey & Swansea..which are still shown as TBC
