BUT VM have took off 6 months half price Free installation & activation worth £60 from their site hmmmm

They have indeed... that's a deal breaker for me! Not paying £40 activation for HD and £60 for net installation

being planned wtf does that mean?

anything I don't mind · 7 Dec 2010 at 14:06

just did a post code check :

"You've caught us out - this part of the site has broken at the moment, but alarms have sounded and we're working on it. "

Kind of sums up virgin media tbh

That means don't hold your breath.

I'm in the same boat.

Mine has no date

Might upgrade to the 50mb deal though, is it worth it??

We must get it surely! Would Bracknell go under Reading at all :S?

Because Bracknell... well lots of IT there

Typical. Both upload upgrade and 100Mb roll out..... in planning. Pffffft!

There is plenty of IT in Reading too.

I expect we will get the upgrade. Its just that at this stage they haven't agreed on a date.

Tomorrow!

So is the 100Mb the same price as the 'previous 50Mb?' Our bill is to confusing to understand with all the discounts lol

XXL 50Mb Broadband 30 November - 29 December £45.00

Looks like you have to sign a 18 month contract for the free stuff.

It's quite annoying, there is Virgin media cable 2 buildings along the street but "I don't live in a fibre optic area"

mr griffin · 8 Dec 2010 at 00:11

anyone have the 100meg or know if it suffers from the same throttling as the 50 meg now suffers on p2p? or is it totally unrestricted just like the 50 meg used to be until of late?

benftl · 8 Dec 2010 at 00:32

VM confirmed on their forums somewhere that 100mb would have the same P2P/Usenet restrictions as the other tiers.

mr griffin · 8 Dec 2010 at 05:48

ok cheers. i'll be giving it a miss then I think.

Wyrdo · 8 Dec 2010 at 09:21

September 2011?!

Usually get the upgrades here pretty quickly, already had the upload upgrade so was hoping the 100mb would be sooner rather than later, shame.
