Here's a suggestion for people who are really, really, really impatient for 10 meg. I realise it may be scary but bear with me. Pay for it.

I think you missed my point - which was the way you come across. Just look at your last statement, its sarcastic and disrespectful! I do not recall reading that anyone had infered that VM are artificailly holding back the upgrade. Your post appears to be based on assumption rather than fact! Anyway, this is all drifting away from the thread....

Quite, and if people don't stop acting like children and keep on posting petty little digs at each other I'm going to start banging heads together.

This is a support forum, if you don't like the advice you receive then ignore it - please remember though that all advice is given freely, nobody gets paid to be here, but there are a lot of very knowledgeable people on this forum who help people because they can and because they want to.

Alienating those people isn't going to get your anybody's problems solved any more quickly.

Can i ask what areas so far have had the Upgrade and if its settled down to a
resonable Speed . My Area is GU Guildford NTL area so far not seen any
posts from Southern England . On 2mgs my speed is normally 1.8 1.9 .
Also has anyone had any install problems . this would help other people
i know and am helping who are not computer experts but want to try the
change themselves rather than get Virgin Tech out.
We lost WWW For about an hour here today and then EMAIL Failed but all
is back to normal . Reboot of modem was done as a precaution.

Just got upgraded!

Was downloading something from rapidshare and my speed shot up from 250kbs to 1mb

VMboy · 08-05-2009, 21:24

I will start to get those speeds when I get a new computer and OS.

At the moment I only get speeds like this, but I'll survive.

It has nothing to do with your computer and OS, it may be your Cable Modem.

I have been told by VM that as soon as I get a new computer I will see faster speeds, and that is probably because of the older ethernet card I have.

Just to check, after registering for upgrade virgin site said i would need replacement for my ntl:250. Well 5 days passed so i gave CS a ring. They have now said that they wont be sending a ambit 256 out as the ntl:250 is already capable, which is fine by me. So what happened to VM getting everyone on the same modem?

RandomLocation · 09-05-2009, 16:55

That's strange, I'm using an ntl:250, and even when I called (various times), there was no mention at all about replacement modem(s)

musicbravo · 09-05-2009, 16:57

I assume must just be a glitch on the website, either way it saves me waiting in for a modem to be delivered

Smiler-VM · 09-05-2009, 18:30

Whatever they are doing is starting to work!, check this out:

(ex-NTL User by the way!)

*UPDATE*

Just ran the test again and it hit 5 for a minor second then went back down... here is thats final result:

Same here - didn't think I needed one but the site said so.......nothing has arrived yet

gulf4uk · 09-05-2009, 19:15

Same here told a new modem delivered in 3days 7 have passed no modem not really bothered either way the main thing i understand was registering for the upgrade

If ordered through the website it can take 10 working days plus to arrive.

Been told again to reboot modem and PC, and tonight I got these speeds below, do they agree with this time of evening threshold?
