Yep £46 with phone

Re: 50Mb areas
So far 92% of the network now has 50MB.

Re: 50Mb areas
I spoke to VM today, and apparently no one in my town is on 50Mb yet
I reckon the first installs must be Thursday/Friday.

Almost dead, it looks like they've stopped posting the announcements. (since people on here have said they've ordered it in Hemel Hempstead and Burnley, which weren't announced).
Can't be that much left now.

Re: 50Mb areas
Got told I was the first person in St Ives (Cambridgeshire) to get it - and that one small section on papworth has 150mb enabled for testing right now! Not me mind you!

Re: 50Mb areas
At 0931 I was officially registered on the VM system as a 50Mb/s customer - THE FIRST IN HEMEL - Sorry Rik 
My install was a doddle as only the modem to do and no faffing about with the PC or wireless.
I have a crap processor in my PC so speedtest.net does not work that well.
I tried it a number of times before I got this result:
My official speed that they got when tested on VM internal servers was 48.8Mb/s.
All in all
