Calling all VirginMedia Customers

[Oakey]

You may or may not be aware (because they've kept this rather quiet tbh) but free upgrades are now available to all who choose to opt in.

I.e., if you're on 100Mbit you get 150Mbit, if you're on 150Mbit you'll get 200Mbit.

What are you waiting for?

"Hold on tight

Your speed boost is on the way…

We’ve already started boosting speeds in your area.

We’ll be in touch between July 2016 and December 2016 to tell you when your speed upgrade is ready."

[Oakey]

Unlucky, where are you?

I'm in the North West, all seems go here.

[deckster]

Personally it appears that I'm waiting for about a year...

Your speed upgrade will be ready to take your connection from up to 100Mbps to up to 150Mbps. It's all thanks to DOCSIS® 3 - the magic in our cables.

Look out for it between April 2016 and September 2016.

[MonkeyBusiness]

Due to a technical fault they can't tell me when mine will be upgraded :-/

HA, In your face suckers!

[NWMark]

I'm in

well kind of I need a new superhub which is being sent out - so its cost me £6 for the delivery.

Next Tuesday fingers crossed for 200Mb.

I was chatting to Richard Branson about this just yesterday.

When I say chatting to him, I was listening to his recording while queuing on the phone.

End of Feb for me, about time, 152Mb is just not enough.

[marcgti6]

Nice!

I've got to wait till the end of November according to their site.

Absolutely no complaints about the speed and reliability of my current 50Mbps service at the moment but I'll certainly take a free upgrade

I assume you're going from 152Mbps to 200? Should be silly fast.

[Dan_1981]

Had ours earlier this year unless this is another wave of upgrades?

Where does he live? TBH my comment was tongue in cheek, 152Mb is plenty for me, in fact I'd be happy with 30Mb. I don't download much.

Pretty sure you'll be signing yourselves up for another 12 month contract though.

What are you waiting for?

What is 200Mb like?

I get 2.5Mb.

That's interesting. Can anyone confirm?

[LordHaveMurci]

Dec '15 to Feb '16 for us in Devon - think we're on 100mb currently.
