Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed

[Chad]

How can I find out when my area will really be upgraded? Do I need to phone Virgin?

I take it other customers are getting the same messages when logging into My Virgin Media?

apologies i hadnt.

your system might need a little tune up. your screenshots say your areas done so capacity would have been added on.

test - speedtester.bt.com/

you could try this...

www.speedguide.net/files/TCPOptimizer.exe

run the prog via admin rights.. move the marker up top all the way to 100+ then above apply changes click on optimal then apply changes - restart - test speedtest.net running internet explorer

No it isn't

Pretty much; unless you have a particularly bad (wired) connection.

My Virgin Media postcode message has changed, it now says to Start checking for 120 Mb/s from September onwards. I'd like to think that it translates to, You will get it in September unless there is a screw up.

Or an un-expected delay

yeah, I cant see them rolling it out by area for the sake of 20mbit

i'm on 100 mb cannot get over that on speedtest 85 mb and it maxes out

Well I followed the advice on here and changed my package - which meant the broadband speed doubled for download and I saved £11 per month -RESULT!

I wouldn't consider 100Mb particularly bad. I'd say it's still pretty average given its prevalence.

Neither would I. My point being that, although you should, theoretically, get 100mb out of your fixed connection, you won't necessarily get that from a wireless connection no matter how good it is.

Unless I'm wrong and "wireless" is now - theoretically - as good as "wired"?
