30MB minimum by end of 2012 - Page 8

jono_h · 16-03-2012, 20:48

I was offered my upgrade last week, when I phoned to downgrade my TV.

Currently on the 10meg (the lower one from the 2meg upgrade), but have been sent a SH free of charge and my paperwork says I'll be on BB Large at up to 30meg.
So in some cases it is a 10-30 upgrade and hey are happy to dish out Superhubs.

Not quite so keen on being locked into a new 12mth contract, but I'm not planning in moving.

It'd also bring the average VM "fibre optic" connection speed almost up to that of BT.

Some of the on request ones do if you get new kit.

what about all the peeps clicking this green box on myvirginmedia and being sent a shub? If they were going to get it anyway it is a bit unfair to renew their contract.

As I said, it's only some. If there is a new contract involved it is made clear before hand

Could it be that all the doubters and unbelievers have now come round to accept that maybe the guy in retentions who knew nothing was indeed spot on!

again as it would require a new Superhub for every single customer below 30Mb the cost would not be viable, accept that he was lying to you.

They were quite happy to send me a SH without charge.

Maybe it is viable if they lock you into a new 12mth contract.

Not really we are just not stupid enough to believe anything that comes out of a Retentions agents mouth, in fact I would not even trust anything that came out of their backside even if that would be closer to what you have been posting throughout this thread.

The will not be any facts to prove otherwise because quite simply Virgin Media are a business and they will not upgrade people on the say so of an idiot in Retentions.

Anymore religious comments in this thread will be met by the holy infraction grenade of antioch.

Do try to understand what is meant in that statement, it does not mean for one second that the company will throw caution to the wind and upgrade every single person to a Superhub, what it means is that in the future the minimum package to sold be will be 30Mb which is not a free upgrade.

What you fail to realise is that the are people still on 2Mb and the vast majority are on 10Mb and they will not be sent a Superhub on the whim of some idiot in Retentions or because of your rather inane wish to believe said idiot.

In fact the are still people on 512kb packages and even some on 1Mb possibly some still getting broadband through a set top box.

But once again I will reiterate for you

"The is no way that every customer will be put on 30Mb by the end of the year regardless of you blindly believing what a idiotic Retentions agent told because it is not cost effective and it will never happen during the rollout to double speeds."

Now if you still believe otherwise than you are more of a fool than that agent.

You also need to listen again as his main aim is Tivo being bundled with 30mb so do stop trying to put a square peg into a round hole you should have learned the difference as a toddler.
