Wish theyd give a list of towns/areas like they used to.

Hartlepool not been done.

[twiggy]

Maidstone (or east malling) not done scheduled for March/April

[Weigh-Man]

I'm in Rotherham and no upgrade yet.

[stuntmaster]

im set for july onwards. onwards gives virgin an excuse to delay it.

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

[joshua_welby]

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

Enter this Postcode CB2 1SJ on this website www.virginmedia.com/doublespeed
For further information

Please Note: It is not my Postcode, just one I know of in Cambridge

[joshua_welby]

I am due to be upgraded in July

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?

It says between March and April.

[Fowl Fax]

Newcastle, Ashford, Ipswich, Dundee, Belfast and Cambridge are apparently the the first areas to get the speed increase.

[brendagoats]

I'm in Cambridge and mine hasn't changed yet.

[georgepomone]

I'm in Ipswich, nothing happened as yet.

[joshua_welby]

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

[d'@ve]

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.

That's what I call a fast rollout.

[nobabydaddy]

Wow. That is fast compared to VM's snail pace.

[mossy2103]

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).

[Toen]

My upgrade message says;
"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.

CS are not necessarily the best people to tell about you (or be aware of) the latest news.

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)

[rock8633]

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

[FirewireUk]

I'm getting upgraded to 60mb in May, Our area was showing April to June for the speed increase.

[rossrevenge64]

We are supposed to get the increase March/April but nothing changed yet.

[alwaysabear]

I am in South Essex and the speed upgrade is due March/April , but nothing has changed yet.

[gary77]

Welwyn Garden City and surrounding areas haven't been upgraded yet either.

[joshua_welby]

I will be upgrading to 100MB in July then being upgraded again to 120MB anytime after then that
