Hi all,

I am a 20 meg customer and am more than willing to opt into a 50 meg trial for VM if they want me to test it from my house to their exchange.

I found this website but my exchange isn't listed despite having a stable 20meg line 24/7:

http://www.vmpilot.net/

After speaking to sales, tech support and the like each dept haven't a clue about when my area will be getting it. Anyway if anyone from VM can recommend me for a trial that would be excellent.

I am in bexleyheath but linked to NTL bromley exchange

Cheers,

Merry xmas

The trials are over and the 50mbit is being rolled out slowly place by place. In some places the 50mbit is actually available right now. To see if you can get 50mbit in your area right now, goto this site:

By the looks of it that website is for existing trailists (vmpilot.net), the starting text gives it away a little

Are You a Virgin Media Trialist?
Then You're come to the right place!

Although the speedtest part looks alright (by clicking locations on left hand side).
