100Mb now available in NW London
Just went to check which services were available in my area and i was surprised to see 100Mb there, as the 100mb roll out pdf said i'd get it in May. Virgin are beating their own timetable...lol
Still only got 4 downstream channels and 1 upstream tho. |
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
thanks. checked my area also 100Mb available, even though it said April. Possible early double speed maybe too...
|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
i hope so
|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
Seems like Liverpool too.

Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
Also now available at a relatives home, connected to the Newton Abbot UBR. I mentioned this and he telephoned Virgin to ask to be upgraded from 50Mbit to 100Mbit today, and was told that whilst it is available VM weren't upgrading people at present. Is this policy?
|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
Yea i got my 100Mb 3 mnths before the pdf date..
they are rolling out early in most areas.if you already have the shub it's just a case of calling up and getting the new config applied and you are ready to go :p: |

Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
I rang up VM to see if i can get 100mb and was told that there would be an increase in my monthly charge. I then asked would there be an increase in charge when my speed gets doubled in July and the lady said no. I guess i gotta ring again another day and try my luck or just wait for my speed to be doubled.

I asked her i wanted to upgrade my speed (didn't specify the 30Mb > 60Mb) she said she would look at the prices. She came back and told me she would upgrade my speed to 60Mb with no changes to the price i pay, it took about 1 minute to kick in, now on 60Mb. |
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
Cool, i'll give that a shot tomorrow.
|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
Hi Zee, gave them a call today and was upgraded to 100mb no extra charge. But still only getting 5Mb Upload. Did your upload speed increase to 6Mb or remain @ 30Mb?

Re: 100Mb now available in NW London

upload speed will not be updated until around the time the actual upgrade was supposed to happen, so for our area it said July onwards... |
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
My upgraded speed is rubbish. I cant even get above 30Mb this morning. I'm going to have to call them up to sort it.

Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
How did you test the speed?
Also I would have thought yoru Max Traffic Rate on the upstream should be double if you been upgraded to double speed.... |
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
My double speed upgrade is due in July. But 100mb just came into my area mid lastweek. So i called them yesterday and asked to upgrade to 100 and was told yep no problem no extra charge. So im on XXL 100. My upload speed won't be upgraded till July.
Anyway, I've been on the phone to the 100Mb support peeps, ran thru a number of tests and now i've got a network guy coming over tomorrow to repull and rewire my house. I've had this cabling donkeys years since Videotron came so early 90's. Hopefully it will sort the issue. |
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London

|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
I upgraded for free. 50 to 100. Ring again tomorrow and they should be able to do it.
|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
as ronnie said, call again and speak to someone else, some do it free some say no and some try and charge.
|

Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
I only have 5Mb upload as well. I've read somewhere that we'll get the upgraded upload speed when the double speed roll comes to you. So for me its from July.
|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
i've read somewhere that u can get it already but u have to be on certain package gonna ring up tomoz see why i'm still on that and why my power levels are high
|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
oh yeah, you gotta be on proper 100Mb not XXL 100Mb. Im not looking to pay anymore than i currently am so im just gonna stick what im on right now.
|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London

|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
Thats not how it works.
if you call up for an upgrade you may get the download speed but wont get the upload till your area is ready no matter what anyone says. |

Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
Yea. Mine was Videotron which then turned C&W then went to NTL and now known as Virgin.
|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
Quote:
NTL in London was unheard of before 2000 But anyway back to the topic lol Virgin Media needs to get a move on with its rollout for 100mb, if BT Infinity catches up, they will have competition and I know for a fact BT will start a price war! |
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
well under the 100mb roll out plan my area "finchley" on the pdf was gonna go live in May. In fact it went live about a week and a half ago so they're beating their own timetable In this case. I've heard other areas being pushed back a little tho

Its no point them beating their timetable though and then ending up giving customers a poor web browsing experience. |

Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
well funny thing is it the same on timettable for liverpool as well says may but i got in march so unless they are getting them done quicker so the speed rollout can begin sooner
|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
the timetable is based on when the whole area will be completed, some areas may be done well before, for example, my area was due to be done for september last year, and I upgraded around august
|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
it weird as just check various post codes in liverpool and half of them are coming up with virgin national
|
Re: 100Mb now available in NW London
I just called, went through to retentions and told them I was looking at some BT deals. They gave me an immidiate upgrade to 100mb (hub will be delivered today) and knocked £17 off my monthly bill. Not bad.
