120 Mb/s SOON?
I have the green message box in My Virgin Media, anyone else?
Exciting news - we're giving you a free broadband boost to up to 120Mb, the UK's fastest ever widely available broadband!
Our engineers are still working on the fibre optic network in your area to make speeds of 120Mb and upwards possible. We'll be in touch as soon as we're ready to upgrade you

Re: 120 Mb/s SOON?
The double speed checker says for the ones that area is all ready done, to check back September for the 120 mb, so guessing will be that time together with the 12mb upload this time
I know because i rang direct the 100mb team to give me the upload from 5mb to 10mb (my area is done) ... but they told me upload will be give same time when the 120mb will take place
excited news

Re: 120 Mb/s SOON?
i get the green box with this
As you know, we're doubling your broadband speed from up to 50Mb to up to 100Mb. But we're not stopping there - we're raising the bar again to bring you the UK's fastest ever widely available broadband. So you can expect an extra free boost to up to 120Mb as soon as we can deliver it.
but have to wait till march 2013

Re: 120 Mb/s SOON?
If they do it soon it will be great because it is a lot sooner than I expected. I have a funny feeling it is going to be egg on their face though because I wasn't expecting it till after xmas and advertising it this early is going to make them look silly.

Re: 120 Mb/s SOON?
When I enter my Postcode it just says that speed doubling has been completed in this area, so I presume that the 120/12 will take effect from Sept onwards, it has already been announced that Oldham will be the first town in the NW to get 120/12.
Currently I am getting 103/9.3 Mb/s thanks to the Engineer  replacing some parts in the CAB which fixed my upload speed.
