I get up to 10mb upload. I presume that means the work has been done in my area?

In that case you are on the original 100Mbit tier so of course will be on 10Mbit upload
It's XXL that's been doubled to 100Mbit that keeps it's 5Mbit upload until the double speed upgrades are completed

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
I've just called up customer services and asked to upgrade my speeds, she said she will look up the prices, came back and said she will upgrade me to 60Mb with no changes in price, which is what i wanted. My area went 100Mb just a couple of days ago
Here is what i get

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
In the Southsea area it's from July onwards.
Have Super Hub on 30Mbps which will increase to 60Mbps & no charge for installation, as i am an exsisting customer, as my latest bill states:-)

my area also says July onwards on the checker, but if you call customer services up, there is a high chance they will upgrade your speed, had no luck in UK call centre, but Indian call centre upgraded me.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
Should point out again, it's still only a preliminary (half) upgrade, and while you get a higher download speed, STM and upload speed aren't upgraded to what they should be until later.

I tried that and was told yeah, no problem. We can do it early and with no charge. Hold and I'll get it sorted. Came back online and said actually it'll be £11.
lmao.

Nice bit of assumption there. How do you know they ever hit their STM limit? I certainly don't. And at least it doesn't stop dead (like an actual cap) and can still be used.
