It'll be ready when it's ready. Until the needed upgrade work is done it's a very bad idea to release the uplift.
The difference isn't 5GBP/month, it's 2 I believe though don't quote me on that. Either way I'm pretty sure M on its' own was 18GBP/month and L is 20.
You guys are even more impatient than the 4-10 and 10-20 upgrades and they were over a much longer period of time.
Virgin's fault for blowing sunshine up your bums for months on end about the uplift though I guess.

Never ceases to amaze me how "you guys" jump to conclusions, and are apparently unable to give a reply without resorting to childish comments..
I was asking a civil question..apparently it is to much to expect a civil answer
And in answer to your question......no, I would not have a problem with being pushed to 10Mbit "early"..no way could it be any slower than my present speed.
Being civil is one of the few things in this world that costs nothing....

No attitude - be patient, it'll happen when it happens and checking your modem logs won't speed it up.

Yes it could be much slower than your present speed believe me.
I am not the one with the attitude and was quite civil, if abrupt which is no more than your pithy comment regarding cost having anything to do with timescales merited.

Sorry, but I agree with other 2 posters, in that you did come across as not being very civil and at times derogatory. Try to imagine yourself on the receiving end of your posts! How do you know they are impatient (an assumption perhaps!) - maybe they would just like to know 'when' the upgrades are occuring as paying customers, that would appear reasonable and civil to me.

Why should I believe you, you are obviously so full of your own self importance that truth probably does not come into it..you even assume to know my present speed.
If that is your idea of no attitude and being civil, then it is probably best you stay hidden behind a keyboard.
However, I have better things to do than swap pleasantries with a child in "mens" clothing...so I will wish you a pleasant time at school next week..and whilst you are there ask your teacher what attitude/civil means..

It`s his attitude people are questioning. It stinks and there`s no excuse for that sort of behaviour.

You're very immature, if you cannot handle a little confrontation. If you're here, you're going to be assumed to be on 2Mb or the upgraded 10Mb, simple as.

Given that you're posting asking when upgrades from 2 to 10Mbit will happen in your area I'll hazard a wild guess that your speeds are around the 2Mbit mark. If they don't make 2Mbit due to a fault or other issues they certainly aren't going to make 10Mbit given that it's exactly the same network delivering both and the only difference between them is some settings on a couple of routers. If your broadband is slower than 2Mbit it will not go much if any faster if a setting is changed to say your maximum speed has gone up.

Then maybe as paying customers they should consider simply asking Virgin instead of one of them implying that Virgin are artificially holding the upgrade back so that they can make a few extra pounds for a couple of months from people who may or may not upgrade to the next tier up while waiting for the upgrade.
Here's a suggestion for people who are really, really, really impatient for 10 meg. I realise it may be scary but bear with me. Pay for it.

And here is a suggestion to Virgin: Supply me with my 2meg that I am Paying for, rather than telling me how great it can all be when they upgrade me...... rather than fixing my current connection.
