Just spoke to virgin media Bangalore. After explaining 3-4 times that I've ordered the 30MB not 100MB and I don't want to know about their latest deals, I just ordered 30MB. They are sending me the latest Super Hub (V2? newly launched this year?) and I should have 30MB within 24 hours. Now I'm not expecting this to be activated before its officially launched so wont be holding my breath.

I would callback in the morning after 0800 just to see what they have ordered for you as it will not be 30Mb.

Strange that my modem is showing a a forced reset. Somethings been changed. Anyways he ordered the Superhub and said it will be with me in 48 hours so I'll phone next week if it hasn't arrived.

Seems to me from what I have read on this thread, that this whole situation is another epic fail by VM, no one knows what the hell is going on, not even Customer services.

This all comes back to poor communications within the company as well as with the customer. They really do need to sort this out asap!

It's not an epic fail at all. VM haven't even officially announced it yet it's just people found some info out early.

Thats a bit harsh. When everything has been officially announced VM will correct any problems. This happens often with companies. Someone designs a new page for the website and its upload to the production site incorrectly. I've previously downloaded unreleased operating systems (vmware ESX 3.5) and had the MD of the company making his first post on the forum saying not to use it as it wasn't the finished copy. Now that was an epic fail

I'm not confident the super hub I've been told will arrive will probably be the basic hub , your quite right VM is a bit of a joke only way to solve a problem is to bypass Customer services and go to the top.

Fair enough if that is the case, but the info must have got out some how.

Yes it was accidentally uploaded to the website but has since been taken down.

My downstream bitrate is 20480000 bits/sec so it hasn't gone to 30MB. I wonder what they changed :/

VM announced the upgrade on their website from an ad.

If I take the 30mb up when it arrives. Will it have any effect on my vip20 contract?

They do not have the codes to change you to 30Mb as it is not available and not on the system.
