Agreed, I think VM are only sending out speed doubling tickles out to areas which have 100mb available.

Re: Speed doubling?
I dont think just because your in an area with 100mb means your definitely gonna get a double speed tickle. But those who have got the tickle are likely to be the ones who are in a 100mb area.

You go through Castlecary hubsite?
Class. They haven't even got the 10:1 upstream ratio and the 1Mb, 2Mb, 5Mb upstreams available in your area and aren't scheduled to do so until February 2012 let alone 100Mb and send you something offering you 100Mb for free.

Sorry to disappoint but 100Mb customers are not being upgraded to 200Mb, they're having their price dropped to the 50Mb price of £25/month if taken with a phone line.
100Mb will probably be subject to STM with this upgrade / price reduction, details to be confirmed.
I'm being upgraded in March 2012 if they ever get around to doing the ****ing upstream upgrades here.
---------- Post added at 21:39 ---------- Previous post was at 21:37 ----------
If you've a Superhub or VMNG 300 you'll be upgraded to 30Mb else if you're a 10Mb customer you'll go to 20Mb, if you're a 20Mb customer you'll go to 30Mb.
For the bored the 30Mb upgrade is to 60Mb.

It's official says one post? Is there a link to an official Virgin Media press release stating that all customer currently on 50mb will be upgraded to 100mb.
I'm currently on 50mb and my area has been upgraded to 100mb but i have not heard anything about an upgrade.
If someone can point my in the direction of this press release then great, if not then it's not really official.
