As it is not on the system no agent could do so as they will have no way of booking such an order, you need the correct codes to do so therefore it will not be done.

I just rang up to have heard the same thing as apparently the order wasn't sent through.

Don't mind waiting though

Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade

As the website link was not truly active you may not receive anything until the upgrade finally goes live.

If you ring into technical support and we find that your modem is faulty then we will still send out a standard modem to the customer as that is all the system will allow, so do not try calling in saying your modem is faulty because all we will do is replace it like for like.

Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade

The customer could refuse a new modem to be posted as an engineer will fit a hub

Would have to disagree with you there. VM support India put mine through the system last night and uk tech support confirmed it will be with me Tuesday at the latest.

VM need to be more consistent.

Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade

People are getting confused here, there's no codes for the 30mb broadband tariff - yet. The superhub is free. The £30 charge is for upgrading to 30mb.

The superhub is, and has been available for some time, both as an optional upgrade as well as an inclusive freebie. It can be ordered or sent by CS on request.

The 30mb product does not officially exist and cannot be ordered or put on your account by CS. The only people who can get it are testing staff.

That is not allowed at present as it is not an upgrade and the process makes us send a modem as otherwise we can be pulled by management for not following process and be disciplined.

So if a customer rings up and I diagnose a faulty modem then I will send out a standard modem via courier as per process, so it is not worth even trying to fake a fault in order to get an engineer as a dead modem gets a replacement sent out via courier.

You did mention India and even their Technical Support are not magic and do not have the codes on the system to send a hub as it will disallow each and everytime they try to order one, so they are either lying to you or taking the michael.

The Superhub at the present time costs £75 if you are already on 20Mb so it is not free to anyone as the is no offer saying otherwise that exists on the system at this time.

Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade

with the 30Mb in the back of my mind, but only being on 10Mb at the moment, CS offered me a free new hub if I upgraded to 20Mb. My bill would go up £15 per month. They said their was no connection or installation charges.

Would this hub be the "superhub" and do you think I would then have the opportunity to upgrade to 30Mb for a one off fee or will it be extra per month.

All upgrades to XL get the Superhub as part of their package.

Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade

Masque I have rang up again and spoke to a supervisor.

They have confirmed my superhub was sent 'free'. The system was overriden because I have a pending 30mbit order.

You have had numerous posters telling you similiar they have one on the way. I suggest you ask your boss on this.

Maybe they credited you the £75 to balance it out ?

I've not looked at the request codes for a long time, but would expect Masque to know what's happening..
