Re: free speed upgrade
Me too, all I can remember is getting a letter from VM about it so I went to sign in with email and account password and it knew it was a first time sign in and went through what you can do and gave you a tour and asked you to set some preferences.

Re: free speed upgrade
Hi guys and thanks. If it's connected to our original NTL email address then yes I still have that and the password. I'll try logging in later and see what happens.

Re: free speed upgrade

It isn't my hardware, it's prob the box on the street that hasn't had a door for months, next door has the same problem.

Seconded (thirded?) - it's your hardware. You've got a piece of equipment (router/cable/network card) limited to 100Mbit, I guarantee it.

Re: free speed upgrade
We have 100mbs internet with Virgin. I saw the offer for an upgrade on my Virginmedia for an upgrade to 150mbs but it was clear whether this was a free upgrade. Rang 150 and asked and they confirmed the upgrade was free apart from the cost of of posting a new router at £5.99. I've ordered and the router should be posted out for Momay next week. Great,

Welcome to the forum. Make sure that the rest of your kit is capable of the higher speeds. Many older PCs etc only have 100T cards.

Re: free speed upgrade
Nice to see Virgin or on the ball. I had an email on Tuesday telling me that I finally have my free upgrade from 152 to 200. Funny that as I have already had it now for nearly six months.

Re: free speed upgrade
Hey,
I just got an e-mail too asking me to claim my free upgrade from 100Mb to 152Mb. So there's no strings attached with doing this? i.e. my price won't go up and I won't be tied into a new contract? I know in the past there's always been a hidden surprise, such as the price of my bill going up at the start of the year...
Thanks!

Totally free no strings attached. Be aware that if you subsequently change any part of your package you loose this freebee and go back to 100.
