General : Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)

[BomberAF]

Does anyone know whether the Liverpool area has been upgraded yet? The reason I ask is, I upgraded my package before the date, so I got mine upgraded before the date, so I am not sure whether the area has been updated or not.

You could wade through this thread:

http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...270383/page/43

Not sure if it will help though.

If you log in to My Virgin Media it will tell, as I upgraded before but still get the message stating area has been done.

Anyone know if the Wirral area has been upgraded yet, If I log in to "My Virginmedia" it does not say yet ?

This is rediculosis, Virgin should maintain a .PDF as an update source as they have done in the past!

Yeah, as we hit July the Boltometer becomes pretty useless because for the vast majority its just "July onwards"

Maidenhead (Area 14) still no upgrade, hoping they make the April-July target!

I would't mind the wait had I not be stuck on the reduced traffic management rate. Kind of feel like I'm being penalised for not being a new customer, who would receive 60mbs at the same price straight away.

I did and upgraded from 10Mbps to 60Mbps for £2.50 a month....

I see I got slightly stiffed though. I knew it was a 12 month contract and that has just come through. It doesn't show as a £2.50 loyalty discount it shows as £5 and my normal rate at £30 which is more than a new customer - that ensures I'll be calling again in a years time. Fair game. In a year I may have seen a repeat of the abysmal performance I had earlier in the year and have forgiven Openreach for their no-show on the Infinity install.

It's all a game.
