50Mb areas - Page 2

Boabyboy · 28-01-2009, 20:28

I checked the VM post code checker to see if I can get 50megabit cable broadband and I can confirm that I can receive the 50meg service in my area now. I am on CMTS08Uddingston. My VM selfcare shows that an upgrade to XXL is available. So, I think Uddingston is a ready for 50meg broadband. I am not sure if all Uddingston UBR's are ready?

Will VM be upgrading all the VIP customers from 20meg to 50meg does anybody know??

There are no plans to upgrade XL/20Mbit customers to XXL/50Mbit, never have been.

As Broadbandbug said a few posts back, they don't need to be. If you sign up to 50 meg, you will be moved onto a 50 meg capable CMTS.

Uddi-cmts-01 is now ready, Selfcare says so.

We're rolling out 50 Mbit/s between December 2008 and July 2009 across the UK.

I'm pleased to tell you that Peterborough is in the next phase; we're currently expecting to launch in your area on 29th January.

Do make sure you're pre-registered to be alerted as soon as the service is available and please don't hesitate to contact me with any queries.

Hi,

My selfcare shows XXL as available for upgrade but the postcode checker says that 50Mb is not available...

Nothing like clear communication is there ! Does anyone know which is liable to be correct ?

I'm in Preston, Lancs if that helps...

TIA

Could be that the Postcode checker hasn't been updated just yet. However I imagine that selfcare should be correct out of the two.

You would think, but Preston isn't a 50Mbit area (yet)

|Kippa| · 29-01-2009, 17:47

I live in Blackpool but I believe my connection comes under Preston. Just out of curiosity do you know when Preston gets the 50mbit upgrade. I don't really need a precise date just a rough guess if you have some idea.

Due to previous leaks from internal information, staff basically get told the day stuff happens now

Bah was going to ask about Knowsley

byron_hinson · 29-01-2009, 20:13

We're in PE27 area - which is a Peterborough post code yet St Ives is classed as Cambridgeshire - anyone know if this area got upgraded?

BenMcr · 29-01-2009, 20:21

AFAIK the postcode checker should be accurate (it's selfcare that seems a bit out)
