Cambridge is due between March and July 2012, it is one of the first towns to be upgraded from 30MB to 60MB for existing customers, I am not sure if it is done though
Does anyone know what will happen when July comes and I get upgraded and an engineer needs to come out to swap the Modem for a Superhub,
will we be paying for this - Installation Fee wise?

Don't forget that existing 100MB Broadband customers will start to see faster Broadband speeds from June 2012 when they will be upgraded to 120MB Broadband
As an aside, some BT Infinity customers have already had their speeds doubled "for free", and it only went 'live' at midnight. Many of the others who have reported in the BT forums tonight have been given a date of Friday this week, the longest wait I have seen mentioned so far is 5 days.
Probably because BT Infinity has already rolled out in some areas (and with it the necessary infrastructure upgrades to support it and the doubled speeds).

That's what I call a fast rollout.
But then again BT have invested £2B in their infrastructure to support it.
VM are struggling to update their throttling to support their rollout.
(and I loath BT - they set the low CS standards to which VM successfully aspired)
I contacted Virgin today about free upgrade to 60mb but was told another 4-8 weeks,i asked if i could upgrade to 100mb,he went away and said he could now do 60mb for free,he said he would ring me back in 15 mins...He rang me back and said he upgraded me to 100mb speed with no extra charge,he said he would apply the credit each month..will have to see on next month bill

not that I'm bothered, after all it is free.

"Time to limber up for double speeds. My fittest, fastest engineers will be in your area between March and April."
I will need a new modem so I assume something will happen in the next 18 days.
I will keep you posted (holding breath?)
Seems like they ran out of those and we're left with the unfittest and fattest.
I wouldn't trust that website. It states Cardiff will be upgraded late next year when the two CSAs I've talked to on the phone say April to May.

Same here. I created a new thread to point out that I called and I was "pending"
As such I would never have been upgraded had I not called...
