Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed

telford I don't know where you've got that date from, Blackburn tickles come into play Jul - Dec 2012. unless of course the OP who wanted to know the date lives out at sea somewhere.

Phil-ntl thats from the tickle page so as people have mentioned like Sirius, don't take it for a proper answer, its rough date sort of thing.. but even then ignition will probably say it'll get held back

yeah, 2 ppl have given different dates, july-dec 2012 and nov 12 - dec 13th, clearly 1 or more of them is lying, i'll just wait until tomorrow instead of checking this thread, i'm sure vm will update their page by noon.

No one is lying as they are just second guessing which is pointless.

Yep that's fine. As I said it doesn't make a great deal of difference to me but I can use it to get a couple of people off my back and just tell them its subject to change of course

That's actually a very good point but I guess that in this day and age of business it doesn't count for a great deal.

btw the jobs lost here in the UK are depressing in all sorts of ways but VM have had to do something... shame they couldn't find another way.

btw, that tickles page is annoying, i REALLY need that 08 tickle as it gives you free 0845 calls which i want as that's the only charges i get with my phone, it says available on main page but when you click it says that the offer has ended

I'm not a customer according to the tickles page, it doesn't like my account number and postcode it just says that it is unable to verify myself as a customer. The same thing happens with the service status page.

How long does it take for them to update their system, I have had this account since the start of Dec.

So those people who will need a replacement router, won't it cost a fortune to have engineers come out to hundreds of thousands of homes?

Or do they do it like BT where they send you the router and have you install it yourself?

[BenMcr]

It'll be self install - unless network reasons require a tech install
