I am assuming that the start and end dates are correct but that a typo has been made on the following line. Nobody's perfect least of all Virgin.

Last weeks work seems to have been carried out as per last weeks schedule.

yep you're right. In the 'Description of Change' it states week commencing 28/04 and in the full description it says it starts on the 21/04. Hey, everything is `subject to change' according to VM. I guess whoever wrote it changed their mine half way through.

Hmmm. Luton area on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Wonder if on Thursday I'll be able to get a decent speed again after my 10mb upgrade...

[Noggo]

Glad for ya Tay77. You mean that you got the free 4Meg to 10Meg upgrade and the UBR couldn't cope?

[Jonathan90]

yeah so the work is going to be carried out this week?

[Noggo]

I don't know, may it starts 21/04/2108 (subject to change)

[Welshchris]

think u will find that they r not all upgrades as in speed upgrades. They might just be UBR upgrades to make headroom for the 4-10mb upgrades when they should happen.

I know they're to resolve capacity problems;
`Network maintenance in the following areas is planned to improve the capacity of our network'

I know (read: assume) my UBR was upgraded, and most people I know are getting 7/8/9mb out of it. Whereas I'm now struggling to get 2.5mb. Hopefully, this'll get fixed by Thursday without me having to contact Virgin. Not holding my breath though!

That was the same maintenance we got last week, been 19meg around the clock since, even throughout the weekend.

Can't help feeling that changing my name would be pushing my luck.
