Upgrade from 2 - 10 meg - Page 34

Micky Finn · 15-05-2009, 13:50

I was told my upgrade had been applied yesterday after registering at the start of the week. It's gone from around the 1.8 / 1.9mb mark to a giddy 2.37mb. Whoosh! I have whiplash from my new supersonic speed.

Hehe, that would be the real killer - wait all this time for the upgrade and it turns out to be crap:-)

My apologies for the misinformation I uploaded yesterday regarding when I would be upgraded to 10MB I foolishly believed Customer Care and all he said. The feedback today was that Upgrades will start in May and last till October and they have no idea what order the areas will be done in. This proves the adage to expect the worst from Virginmedia and you will never be disappointed.

Running like a Rolls-Royce here now. Peaking at 8.5MB, lowest 4.5M.B so far. Just need to keep an eye on my bill now...lol.

Looks like I've been upgraded in last few hours, I did see several Virgin vans out working on the green boxes locally - at last. Area 26 (Farnborough). Yipeeee....

If you have registered you should receive the upgrade by the end of August.

This morning the download speed has settled at around 9.75Mb - Been watching streaming BBCi Player in HD, excellent! I reckon VM are now on the case in this area, I was suspicious last night when I saw 3 VM vans at different big green box locations near to me. For info. when I last spoke to VM CS UK they told me that the whole GU area should be complete by 1st June - I didn't think it would happen quite so soon though! I live on the Surrey side of the border near to Farnborough.

Blimey, that looks like hard work. Bottom line is it's much quicker this morning - whatever I'm at will do me. Cheers.

It is a doddle to do and much more accurate and exactly what I would get you to do if on the phone.
