If you have concrete facts then please post and none of the posts in this thread make any reference to VM upgrading 50meg users to 100meg!

its not rumour, its confirmed, and backed up by the fact that VM have emailed many 50mbit users saying their speed will be doubled for free

oh and there is a lot of "reference" to the free upgrade in this thread, posts #65 #66 #72 #76 #84 amongst others

As discussed in other threads, VM are changing a lot of their tiers, and the 2 premium products you speak of will be 100 & 200 not 50 and 100

I have seen no mention of a 200Mbit product anywhere, can you point to the VM press release where they've announced the launch of a 200Mbit product?

"Reference" does not mean that it is actually happening, there maybe many reasons as to why one user might get an upgrade for the same cost. Where as someone else wouldn't. Reference does not mean its the policy of VM. I have also not seen any mention of 200mb testing, so i am unsure where your getting your facts from.

the 200mbit is rumour, however the 50 to 100 is confirmed

Where is it confirmed then? I have not seen any VM Press Release about it, its only rumour, reference and hear say nothing more.

Yeah so its not policy and its not going to happen across the product range, the user was "handpicked" and it would seem to be a one off when his/her area came online with 100mb. So like i said in my original response, its not a change to the product packages or something that will happen to all 50meg users, its simply one lucky individual that VM has blessed with a new year gift when his/her area comes online.

Yes it will happen to all 50 meg users or they'll be off to BT Infinity (as I said before). And I'm not going to tell you the authoritative inside source.

That all depends on the BT Infinity roll out program and the cost, so while you may have heard it from an inside source its just a rumour.

As far as i can tell the speeds that are "actually" available on Infinity are a slower than the current offerings by VM.

Are you sure BT are doing this? I'm aware of the 80Mb product being released by Openreach but wasn't aware of a free upgrade for Infinity customers.

Not in the umpteen oversubscribed VM areas they aren't. If it was available to me today I'd be gone.

I doubt it will be a free upgrade as they are selling it as a separate product on their website.

I don't believe 80/20 will be a free upgrade either, after reading this about it (third bullet point). Still no firm dates on when it'll be available.
