Sorry, your home is not eligible for 50Mb broadband.
Cable services
Because you're in a fibre optic cable area, you can get all this.
Up to 20Mb broadband
Up to 145 digital TV channels
Flexible phone packages
Want to know when you can get 50Mb?
Just register your details with us, and we'll let you know when it's on the way.

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

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

Re: Virgin's 50Mb broadband arriving December 15?
Its only £35 when you take a £11 phone line, so its £46 for BB XXL & Telco line..

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