Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
Ben I asked before about this upgrade being open and you said it was. Does that still stand now we've had letters? eg. a customer changes his or her package/broadband speed. would they then still be upgraded to the correct speed ?

Not been following any of your threads, so forgive me if this has been covered already... What are VM saying to you about those speeds? Do you have a High Utilisation ticket open for it?
