It's unlikely they'll put the pages up until after the press conference

It's back on the Technology page, and the front page (also currently in the 'Latest' ticker)

Just saw the front page of Cable Forum:

Quote:
Virgin Media’s Chief Executive, Neil Berkett, told investors at a UBS conference in New York last week that the new 50Mbps service will be ‘premium priced’ and also said he saw no reason to ‘go cheap’.
I really do hope they don't stick STM on the 'premium' service, not now, not ever.

Re: Virgin's 50Mb broadband arriving December 15?
Ooooo Exciting stuff this 50mb Action isnt it?

id like to think rumours are true, but no-one knows :o

VM are officially launching 15th December - only certain staff were told - who were then told to tell everyone.. pointless really.

Only other info ive been told was it were to be £10.00 extra per month for our staff contracts (who currently pay 1.50/mo for 20mb)

Only reason id get 50meg? = bragging rights haha sad init?

heres hoping theres gonna be mega upload, no stm and free broadband for everyone...

Credits to VM for their 50mb product but the upload speed is pathetic. It should be no less than 5mb.

I'd strongly advise you to delete that attachment and re-upload the image minus your e-mail address.

Edit: Infact - just done it for you.
