Virgin Media Speed Upgrades

[Jack!]

Er no that isn't the case. It's for fibre optic/cable customers only, you can't just upgrade an ADSL customer to fibre optic just like that. They would have to make sure it's in the customers area for a start.

It's why the actual article is under "Cable" on their site. The article can be found at: https://my.virginmedia.com/customer-...edupgrade.html



Plus the max like Tom said earlier is probably around 20Mb for anyone on ADSL or "National" as Virgin Media call it.

Oh, god knows then.

I just sent the moderator I am friendly with on the forums a message about the upgraded speeds, I shall post the reply here when he tells me.
see if he can explain it any better

EDIT:

If you are unsure of if you are Cable or National, Try to get onto the National Status page, It will tell you:

It looks like you've tried to access a National page from a Cable account.

Looks like I am getting the upgrade, Woooo.

Didn't you know if you was on cable or national? You could of easily found that out or even ask your parents about it. Anyone on cable will get the upgrade!

That's nice for everyone on virgin, but I still sit here on my crappy 1.2mb download and 0.4 upload whilst who is literally a next door neighbour can go and go and get decent speeds.

Will the engineering work cause any downtime cos my internet keeps going off at random intervals every now and then. i think it might be my side though but don't want to rush into things I barely understand so just gonna ask the experts in this section, hey technology people

I know I have either 10 or 20Mb, Useless asking my mother about it, She just says, and I quote! "its internet isn't it?"

I know my area was upgraded sometime last year, but, who knows, Haha.

None of the work has started yet, If it keeps happening its probably best to phone VM.

Oh that's embarrassing. yeah I knew that, was just testing you all -whistles-

okay, will do

This makes me wish I was a VM Fibre optic customer (My rollout is june(from march ) which makes me sad)

Just a thought, if 100 is only going to 120 that must mean it'll drop price at the same time?

There's a discount for people on that package I believe.

If they can't manage 200MB down then surely they could get 20MB up.
