100mb will be available to all customers by the end of May, most exchanges already support 100mb, there a small number left which will be finished in may.

I think it's pretty clear now that telfordcable is nothing more than a troll.

Once the speed doubling has been completed does that mean people will only be able to subscribe to XXL (what will be 100mb) or will 120mb be a separate tier again? This list seems to suggest these will be the available tiers after the upgrade and other wording suggests that current 100mb customers are getting 120mb as a bonus.

Welcome to the forum, that has been known for a long time.
If everybody followed this simple image we would all be fine.

No.
No 100Mb customer is going to 120Mb before the summer. You'll not get the uplift until October at the earliest, they aren't going to upgrade 100Mb before they do everyone else and it's not only dependent on the same upgrades as the uplifts for the other tiers but also on upstream bonding.
Just to point out it says 'October onwards' and this programme is ongoing until the middle of 2013, so you may be waiting until the middle of next year, no completion date provided.

I would expect that there will only be one tier available to subscribe to after a certain date. When that is and what speed I don't know (but it would be odd if it wasn't the 120Mbit one)

To be honest, that's not what the site says:
If you have our up to 100Mb connection, you've already got the fastest widely available broadband in the UK. So we'll be taking a bit off your monthly bill, instead. And as an extra thank you, we'll be boosting your speeds up to 120Mb. Your upgrades start this summer. We'll be in touch to let you know.
'Summer' is earlier than 'October'

Can I just say that I found Northern Ireland's infrastructure to be pretty top-notch. It hardly ever seems to go down.

If you'll notice, I have a relatively low post count, so despite being registered for a while, I don't actually post much, so I don't really know "who's who" around these parts.
