Hey all,
I had notice website member site via myvirginmedia and click upgrade and saw broadband upgrade is now showing as 100Meg is available now at £45 a month. It say I can upgrade either XXL 50 Meg at £35 or 100 Meg at £45.
It suppose to be 100Meg ready in Telford area by March 2011 but look like they already done it early.
I better ring up virgin media to have 100Meg now :)
Pick your new package
The price you pay for broadband is dependent on your existing package and may differ from the prices below. Prices quoted are for customers with a Virgin Phone line.
Your existing package is Virgin Media broadband Size XL.
Upgrade to Virgin Media broadband: Size XXL from £25.00 a month
Upgrade to Virgin Media broadband: Size 100 from £35.00 a month
Oppps !!! I put headline !00Meg Should be 100. Can mod correct it please!

Wow, you can get 00meg! I'm impressed. Better switch quickly from your 50meg, oh wait was it 30meg? Or have you changed again...

Why would you want 100meg when you downgraded your 50meg because 30 is fast enough?
He is Virginmedia's favourite customer http://www.tcifactoringloans.com/images/cash-cow.jpg
Upgrade, then downgrade to 20Mb, then re-upgrade to 30Mb.
Nah - what sort of chump would do that?

WTF £70 !!!!! Why should I pay another £30 activation fee and £40 installation charge. I just phoned up virgin media and they say I must pay £70 as they cannot activation in quick start. Need a tech guy come out. Anyway I had paid by my card £70 today and tech guy come out on Monday, 21st Feb at between 8am and 1pm.
Can't wait! :)

I will have 100 Meg for at least 3 months for fastest downloading before I can go back to 30 Meg. I can afford to pay £45 for 100 Meg for 3 months.
I can't wait to see transfer rate of 10Meg a second and upload of 20 Meg!!!!!! :)

Masque why is virgin media won't activated 100Meg now because I explain to to customer service I already had a superhub and surely no need a tech guy come out ???? They say it need a tech guy to come out because of something to do with power level adjustment!

No idea try calling in the morning to verify it.
I find it strange that they could accommodate you on Monday 21st February as I would expected it to be Monday 21st March are you sure that you have the correct date.

I ring back and check again as they did say it will March 21st. So, I say why not 21st February ? They say my area is ready for 100 Meg but I need a tech guy come out as they cannot do a quick activation in a quick go. They told me the tech guy will come out 21st March !
I had try different staff, they say my order is completed and will be installation dates on 21st March not 21st Feb. :( :( :( Why it a hell a month to wait!
Honestly Telford, what is wrong with you. Upgraded to 50 and then back to 30 as you claim it is fast enough for the house hold. Now you are already claiming to be upgrading to 100? And have paid yet another activation fee? VM must love you!!
It's states 12 month contract on that order form too. I hope they hold you to it!

I will ring up tomorrow to see if they can give me a quick activation 100Meg on same day! I hope so! It so stupid to wait for a month for the tech guy to come out and installing it.
I smell a big pile of bull excreta coming from under a bridge in Telford.

I had ring up a moment ago and they say my area is ready to place an order for 100Meg but it won't be available until 7th March of live 100Meg. So it normally take 2 weeks for tech guy come out and installing 100meg at my property.

Telford, typically conversation is performed with the larger of the orifices on your face, not the one nestled away in your posterior. I know in this case you're using a keyboard, but the point still stands. ;) :D
We have a new verbal definition for Cable forum.
Telford Babble so thats "its all a load of Telford Babble"
I knew it would not take long for him to "Cancel" once I mentioned it was rather unlikely for him to get an install technician at such short notice, we would be lucky to get an engineer for Monday on a Friday night.https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2011/02/16.gif

Nothing like a good expospeak joke (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ExpospeakGag), eh qas?
Having read a number of posts by this troll I'm starting to wonder if he's actually phoning VM at all, or just using a prop handset that's not connected to anything. :D

I'm in Telford an this is what I got when I tried for 100mb.
You're the king of the broadband castle!
As an XXL customer you already get the fastest broadband in the land at 50Mb, so sit back and get downloading, streaming and gaming.
So all of Telford definately is not 100mb ready.
I also just tried a lot of different Telford TF postcodes and all got....
Register for updates

It can't be a coincidence that telfordcable contains within it feed troll with a remainder of cab. So I suppose if you rearrange those letters again and add another, you get feedback troll, which is what he is.
That's right. I'm onto anagram humour now. So from idiocy, good things can come. :D

They laid cable in Sheriffhales? WOW its a tiny 3 street village lol.
four and a half, actually...... (that was how NTT could trial their 69Tb/s speeds - only a small area).
Now just in case anyone in the Telford area trys to ring up to order 100Mb you will find that as yet is not actually available in the area at present.;)
