Mine just got pushed back from the end of this month to the end of this year. So basically it's a waste of time checking.

We are currently on the 100meg service but rarely get higher than 86meg so when the 120meg is up and running in our area i reckon i will get about 90meg.

Mine says that the network upgrade is completed for this area and that they will be in touch about the 120/12 boost, but no mention of when.

Re: 120 Mb/s SOON?

Anyone know if it will go 5>12 upload or will we get 10 first?

I'm not waiting nearly a year to get an upload increase. Infinity goes live in my area soon so I'll be switching.

at least for my area 15, in London, it shows upgrade done with the new double speed checker.... so i rang 150 to get the upload speed as well
They told me it will go from 5 up to 12mb with one go after September when the download 120mb will be ready (at least for my location) because they need to add more card slots for the upload
Don't know if they lie
But again they may give different answer to each individual case
Best if you have phone with VM give them a call before you do anything?

Re: 120 Mb/s SOON?

Leeds it says December 2012 - March 2013

I'm still on 5mb upload so does that mean it will stay as is for now till the 120 upgrade?

Same here, Me too! Infinity or Sky broadband got the faster upload. Virgin Media is rubbish!

the last I heard the 120 rollout wont start until the upstream uplifts are done, so with that being done, you should go from 100/5 to 100/10 to 120/12

But this isnt written and could change from one hour to the next with VM

What the point of wait for all upload to be completed first before we see 12 meg upload on the 120 meg? Before we use to have 30/3 and 50/5 and 100/10 and suddenly VM revert it back to 30/2, 60/3 and 100/5 is rather bit silly! I think virgin media is worse than BT roll out! As BT FTTC is catching up more quickly now.

Re: 120 Mb/s SOON?

because they can easily add and bond a bucket load of downstream channels to accomodate the downstream uplifts. Upstream bandwidth is far more finite and if they doubled everyone before they have added all the extra capacity we need for it then the network would be unusable
