Amazing, already done, now waiting for the phone call or email, by the way BBC pretty much covers most of it.

bbc news article said:
Virgin's 100Mbps service will offer upload speeds of 10Mbps.

Monster upload speed too!!

And its available in my area shortly apparently!

volt9291 · 27 Oct 2010 at 10:53

I pay £32 for phone and 20mb, so if I can have 100mb for £3 more count me in!

Edit: Thinking about it, I guess it would be £35 plus £11.99 line rental. so £46.99...

Loads more info here guys

Customers with additional Virgin Media services will benefit from additional bundle discounts. Activation (£30) and installation (£40) charges apply."

I can give my Sky notice in next month, I think 100MB is enough to make the jump across.

axer · 27 Oct 2010 at 10:59

Blooming good price, think I shall upgrade when its available

Duke · 27 Oct 2010 at 11:05

Isn't that about the same price as 50mbit? So 50mbit could drop?

nom nom nom 50/100mbit

(currently on 20mbit)

I'm on 20Mb and am hoping for some shuffling around of the product structures...preferably cheaper 50Mb.

CK61938 · 27 Oct 2010 at 11:09

This is awesome news

I'm already on 50Mb but with a 10Mb upload speed, my YouTube vids will be online in no time at all

I've put my interest in. Thanks Dangerous

At least their SuperHub comes complete with Gigabit network connections

I think it will be six months before I have it

apatia77 · 27 Oct 2010 at 11:22

I so want 100Mb connection even though I am perfectly fine with my 20Mb connection.

jrwagh333 · 27 Oct 2010 at 11:46

Sorry but where does it show the estimated time scale for areas?

I have entered my post code to be notified...

PistolPete · 27 Oct 2010 at 11:53

Pricing is GOOOOOOD.

I paid £7 more to go from 20Mb to 50Mb, now it's an extra £7 to go from 50Mb to 100MB.
10MB up from the off is really good news too.

It's a race now, will I get 5Mb up on 50Mb or 100Mb rolled out in my area first??

50Mbit is currently quoted @ £28pm, so it looks like the 100Mbit is +£7 (Neither price includes VAT IIRC). But I do find the pricing structure slightly opaque.
