VM have never said anything of the sort. I think you're quoting the rumour mill there not Virgin. The only thing they have ever said officially is that they would be trialling speeds of up to 10Mbps. The rumour mill mentioned 2.5Mbps rising to 5Mbps when channel bonding was introduced on the 50Mbps service bus has never as far as I know mentioned doubling of speeds or any uplift for anything apart from 50Mbps. The very specific reasons for upgrading the 50Mbps service, keeping up with BT's next generation access network, really don't apply to the lower tiers.
Unsure if it'll even be an 'upgrade'. Given that BT charge extra for an upstream uplift from 2Mbps to 10Mbps on their FTTC service I see no reason why VM wouldn't take the opportunity to both offer the choice and make a few quid.
