Re: 50Mb areas
I can't believe Ipswich hasn't been done yet. Is there a way of finding out when?

Re: 50Mb areas
Installed and up and running in Burnley.
Absolutely stonking speeds, currently rattling down 6150kb/s on Astraweb Usenet (20 simultaneous connections), brilliant!

Re: 50Mb areas
Well we've just had our bill, and have been charged £52 for the 50MB, even though we have phone, XL TV, two V+ boxes, etc etc, and it seems I'm the only bugger who hasn't been given some sort of discount. The billing manager is investigating and is going to ring me back shortly.
f  ers.
edit: They just phoned me back, that's more like it, £2.50 odd extra. Not £15.

Not anytime soon surely. They will mop us early adopters up first and then consider something like that.
How reliable is your little birdie then sir?

At the prices stated for the new packages, I may consider switching all my services to VM in September!
Pierre, I stand corrected!

Still not available in Rutherglen, Glasgow.
They must be using a different definition of "network upgrade complete" to the rest of us - maybe their dictionary says in means "coming soon".

The headline on the release is " UK’s first high-speed network complete", not "...about to be completed". Doesn't matter, I'll wait for the price reduction before thinking about changing.
