I also see those that sign up today get a free netgear router and usb adaptor i wonder if the offer still applies to those of us who have to wait until next year to be upgraded?

£52 or £35 when taken with vm phone line, you get a free router not bad lol and they have gone back to the 1.5Mb upload its a joke

[Salu]

Do we know what happens to the price of the other packages for existing customers now that we have 50mb at £52? Are they staying the same? I can see info for new customers on their website.

I think I'm currently paying £35 for XL and £11 for the telephone rental = £46 for 20Mb.

LOL, not never, but dont take the PR monkys word for it and put them right whenever and werever you can , just understand the basic realwork capabilitys of whats available right now in the current DS2.0B/DS3.0 SOC and what the ISP can actually buy off the shelf right now to offer their latest and greatest DS3 packages to you.

just look to the US cable to see that you can today get far faster upload rates offered at reasonable prices 30Mbit/5Mbit is a reasonable ratio ,far better than Virgin media are offering us in the UK today and tomorrow than thats on the old DS2 chipsets and UBR cards.

VM BB could have been so much more by today, and we would gladly advocate VM for that faster real speed if they stopped milking the old UK speeds/pricing, and just offered us more.....and more than one single CM per account OC..

Is this just for new customers as i already have the xl package.

I pay 52 quid a month for xl bb m phone xl tv on a v+ and v box I do not think I am gonna screw up this price by going to 50 meg yet.

Its only £35 when you take a £11 phone line, so its £46 for BB XXL & Telco line..

i hope they put a schedule up saying who is going to be upgraded and when because i hate waiting around for stuff not knowing when it is going to happen

Yep true, Yorkshire is always last for the upgrades.

Ha!, They lowered the upload speed back down and totally skipped on the 2.5Mbit, Good On Ya VM!

50% By Year End? Yet more marketing spin, i see broadbandbug isn't around now he's been proven wrong.

I see you are to rub it in lol
