100Mb now available in my area :)
Hey all,
I had notice website member site via myvirginmedia and click upgrade and saw broadband upgrade is now showing as 100Meg is available now at £45 a month. It say I can upgrade either XXL 50 Meg at £35 or 100 Meg at £45.
It suppose to be 100Meg ready in Telford area by March 2011 but look like they already done it early.
I better ring up virgin media to have 100Meg now 
Pick your new package
The price you pay for broadband is dependent on your existing package and may differ from the prices below. Prices quoted are for customers with a Virgin Phone line.
Your existing package is Virgin Media broadband Size XL.
Upgrade to Virgin Media broadband: Size XXL from £25.00 a month
Upgrade to Virgin Media broadband: Size 100 from £35.00 a month
Oppps !!! I put headline !00Meg Should be 100. Can mod correct it please!

Wow, you can get 00meg! I'm impressed. Better switch quickly from your 50meg, oh wait was it 30meg? Or have you changed again...

Why would you want 100meg when you downgraded your 50meg because 30 is fast enough?

Upgrade, then downgrade to 20Mb, then re-upgrade to 30Mb.
Nah - what sort of chump would do that?

Re: 100Mb now available in my area :)
WTF £70 !!!!! Why should I pay another £30 activation fee and £40 installation charge. I just phoned up virgin media and they say I must pay £70 as they cannot activation in quick start. Need a tech guy come out. Anyway I had paid by my card £70 today and tech guy come out on Monday, 21st Feb at between 8am and 1pm.
Can't wait!

I will have 100 Meg for at least 3 months for fastest downloading before I can go back to 30 Meg. I can afford to pay £45 for 100 Meg for 3 months.
I can't wait to see transfer rate of 10Meg a second and upload of 20 Meg!!!!!!

Masque why is virgin media won't activated 100Meg now because I explain to to customer service I already had a superhub and surely no need a tech guy come out ???? They say it need a tech guy to come out because of something to do with power level adjustment!

No idea try calling in the morning to verify it.
I find it strange that they could accommodate you on Monday 21st February as I would expected it to be Monday 21st March are you sure that you have the correct date.

I ring back and check again as they did say it will March 21st. So, I say why not 21st February ? They say my area is ready for 100 Meg but I need a tech guy come out as they cannot do a quick activation in a quick go. They told me the tech guy will come out 21st March !
I had try different staff, they say my order is completed and will be installation dates on 21st March not 21st Feb.  Why it a hell a month to wait!
