Just received our upload increase in Southampton, two months ahead of VM's proposed schedule. Yay

Damn you!

Come on Fareham!

Can't find Handsworth on that list.

June 2011 proposed time here in Preston, one of the chaps in work from St Helens had his upgrade a few days ago.

I get the feeling if anything 'bad' is to be tested Preston gets it first, but when it's something good we get it nearly last :/

I had an email yesterday from Virgin telling me that my upload speed had been increased - just need to power the cable modem off and on

However it has made no difference, and I'm still stuck on 20Mb/768Kb. Having checked the UBR schedule (http://aj-services.com/vm_status_image/myubr.php) it's showing May this year.

Thanks for getting my hopes up :mad:

Mine was done when I got the email. I didn't even have to reboot the modem.
Not that I will ever use the 5meg upload.

Only just noticed this thread! The 5Meg upload increase is fantastic!

My upgrade should be complete by the end of this month.

PS ... Actually to be fair I am quite happy with my speeds although the extra upload speed wouldn't go amiss.

yea funny how I could go get 100mb right now though and to be honest that's why they are holding back on upgrading the 50mb upload.
