According to Virgin Media's schedule http://shop.virginmedia.com/content/dam/allyours/pdf/schedule_200411.pdf the Norwich upload upgrade should have been carried out last month. There's still no sign of it. Does anyone have any information on what is happening - or not?

The upload on my 10mbit connection was upgraded a couple of months or so back

Yes, mine too. But the difference between that (1mb) and what is due for the 30mb user (3mb) is considerable.

Oddly, before the last update to the timetable the March schedule forecast June. Then the April schedule changed it to May - and they've missed it! This doesn't give one confidence that Virgin know what they are doing.

That PDF now says Cardiff is "available now"..... but...

I rebooted my vmng300 today, in config says 3mb, in reality i get 1mb and the download is pants also. And before anyone asks, yes my equipment and signal levels are all a1. Engineers can find "no fault" my side, its a network issue that has been going on for months.

In contact with the ceo office to terminate right now.

is it bang on 1mbit? or varying up and down and just averaging around 1mbit?

gets to 1.2 ish then drops to 1mb, defo networking issue, noise or over subs on the upstream.

Phoned up virgin on friday (3rd June) they said I should of had the upgrade to 3 meg upload in the Norwich area. On investigating they found that some street boxes have been missed. They said that the upgrade to NR7 would happen to 2-3 days. It now has (6th Jun). :)
