Why should it be any different, someone has to be last. Far too much money is spent in London as it is.

I have the upgrade - Cardiff.

It says my area is "being planned".

Ryan111 · 29 Nov 2010 at 23:00

My area isnt on the upgrade schedule at all? I live in Plymouth, not exactly a small city.

Speed · 29 Nov 2010 at 23:01

Well I live "Near" Bristol, so god knows how long I'll have to wait...

Do a DNS lookup on your IP to find your location.

LOL Leicester upgrade is due August 11 :/

sargatanas · 30 Nov 2010 at 01:26

Glenrothes isn't even planned yet. So I don't expect it till the tail end of next year

NathP · 30 Nov 2010 at 02:28

Mine says Aug 11 too, does this mean 100mb wont be in my area until then aswell?

MouseMat2004 · 30 Nov 2010 at 07:05

Damn not gonna be done in Southwest until July

mrk · 30 Nov 2010 at 09:30

July 2011 for me too.

GASH!

They should upgrades everyones with a single click with a config file update and it all done. Fed up of waiting so long.

It will say something like...

Code:

Dns resolved 92.*.*.* to cpc3-stav*.cable.virginmedia.com

"stav" being Staverton. I don't live there, and in fact it's only a small village, but that's where the main VM infrastructure is for this area.

Thanks, did mine and it came up as "aztw" which I assume would be Bristol Aztec West. Does being planned mean they haven't even got a date for it yet? :rolleyes:

Gotta wait until February 2011 but not that I am bothered anyway.

Ryan111 · 30 Nov 2010 at 16:50

I guess that mine being cpc12-newt30-2-0-cust***.newt.cable.virginmedia.com means im on Newton Abbott? And thats July 2011. Great.

branddaly · 30 Nov 2010 at 17:40

July 2011, for me aswell. Thats very sucky.
