Well there's a week left in May and Cambridge and Middlesbrough are still to be upgraded. So don't expect it to be upgraded any time in the beginning of June.

Some Luton UBRs (such as mine) are already getting 10 meg.

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer

*giggles*


Was just checking out the traffic management page, are VM really serious about that?

4Mbit/s: 800MB Download, 350MB Upload
10Mbit/s: 800MB Download, 400MB Upload



As a recently re-incarnated L user, I hope they're not :/
