But it's not two per month is it, just two in May. With 13 already completed, the average per month is actually higher. |

They do seem to have slowed down but by the end of May they should have 15 complete, in 3 months, that's 5 per month and with 33 still to go - I think they need to pull their finger out else it might not be the end of summer when they've finished, at least not this British one  |

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
I want my free upgrade, and I want it now..............
Actually, when I get it, I'll be happy (as it's free).

Wow free, that's a really good deal you've got, how did you manage that? I have to pay for my broadband connection * 
* It's not just the connection I'm paying for though...network repairs, upgrades, etc. |

I'd say you're in the Birmingham area.

Strange - I will be paying the same for 10Mb as I am currently for 4Mb; seems like a free upgrade to me (which is completely different, imho, from part of the revenue from my payments being used for network repairs and maintenance  ). I don't remember any of my other utility suppliers giving me extra electricity/gas/water for the same price as I was paying.

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
foreverwar, Does this count. British Gas has said it's giving every customer 4 free energy saving light bulbs 
I'm waiting for the upgrade with mixed feeling. Will it work,  or will Baguley server just laugh in our faces. |
