From your speedtedt results I would say you have been upgraded. Had you not been your results would have been similar to those in nodrogd's post.

thanks for that

I notice most people here are using speedtest.net, I personally don't find speedtest.net to be very accurate at all. I tested my connection 4 times using 4 different speedtest.net servers, clearing my browser cache's between each test. First time, it said I was getting 20MB, then 54MB, then 51MB, then 25MB.. Uh ok.. Because I know for a fact that Im on the 10MB package.. Speedio gives me 9.48MB.. More like it.

Still waiting in Stevenage (Ex-NTL) for the free upgrade to 10Mb. Registered interest on-line a few weeks ago. Not to fust as 2Mb was always fine and any large downloads I needed to do I would doing after 10pm and would always be ready for me in the morning. Now I feel I will have bragging rights over my brother and father who have ADSL connections and never get 8Mb.

Cheers VM.

Just had a word with Virgin about non delivery of new Modem and it isnt coming
as i dont need one i already told them that ages ago Any way was told my Area
GU14 Will be upgraded in June if that helps any other locals in the GU1 NTL area

Hi gulf4uk, I'm very near to Farnborough on the Surrey side of border (GU16) - looks like we'll have to keep waiting a bit longer then. My area number is 26, is yours the same? I think Farnborough, Aldershot and Camberley areas are listed individually for upgrades, but likely to be completed around the same time.

mjeff2k · 14-05-2009, 13:15

June? Jesus -I hope we dont have to wait that long in Teeside.

Mullington · 14-05-2009, 13:17

Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale....please just give me a clue some kind person (lol).

mjeff2k · 14-05-2009, 13:26

VM are utterly clueless when it comes to communication. I thought they were supposed to be our "mates", "buddies" and "chums". Or summat like that. Who`s bright idea was it to have a rollout page minus the rollout info. Classy.

Can Ben or anyone else for that matter confirm that, as well not involving a new 12 month contract, the free speed upgrade does not impact on any retentions deals still in force. I am on what was described at the time as a Lifetime deal currently giving a monthly discount of Â£19.46 on my services. I have no wish to jeopardise this but after my Son lost his discount 6 months ago despite being re-assured by VM he would not I am wary of doing anything that changes my services at all.

BTW I have never threatened to leave VM or plan to now, my deal simply came about when I rang VM to see if they had any offers on for existing customers. I couldn't believe my luck at what they offered but you don't look a gift horse in the mouth, do you?

Thanks.

hi i'm in blackburn near preston how long does it take after you get the sign up email

cpomd · 14-05-2009, 14:56

Have just spoken to India and he assures me it will take betweeb 2-24 hours for upgrade to come through. My area is Ashton-u-Lyne gtr Manchester postal area OL7. Fingers crossed.

TIDDER · 14-05-2009, 15:35

sparky621 · 14-05-2009, 16:00
