Hi,

I just logged into the self help on Virgin Media site and click to upgrade Broadband speed.

Picked 50mb and click go, then it went to a page with a link saying: order or register for more info I click that then told not available in my postcode area

It's still on the self upgrade part of the site, takes you to a page to register your interest.

It's nice to see they've actually been doing something behind the scenes though, I hated watching that "blueyonder.co.uk/evenfaster" to see when we were getting 20!

Re: Virgin's 50Mb broadband arriving December 15?

This is what comes up on mine now, yet early on it

showed the upgrade at £52 pounds but could not go past that page,


Sorry, no further upgrades available!



Your existing package is Virgin Media broadband Size XL
Unfortunately, there are no additional Broadband options available to you at present.
