As of today Virgin upgraded my 4mb to 10mb for free, they posted a letter out last week telling me. Is this a nationwide thing and did anyone else get it?

[JonnTEN]

I do hate being limited to only ADSL sometimes [thumbdown]

[nebrarlepleme]

I was upgraded from 10meg to 20meg a few months back for free, might downgrade myself to 10meg though as i don't need 20.

[RSAccountssy]

I don't know anything about it! Is this for everyone? [surrender]

[boizzones]

Dont know mate thats why I was asking. I got a letter from them on Weds last week saying that it was been upped to 10meg for free so I presume it might be nationwide

[ElenaEvgeevnaa]

It's nationwide mate yeah, got upgraded to 20MB from 10MB myself a couple'a months back.

No upgrade here, still 4mb.

Reboot your cable modem, had to do that when I went from 10mb to 20mb.

still loving my 20mbit.
my connections been a bit crap recently though, looking at the support newsgroup it seems im not the only one...

yesterday my connection was maxing out at around 150KB/s down but as the hours past by it slowly got better.

one day my connection was litterally slower than a 56k modem lol soon fixed itself when i rebooted my modem though

[Saad Khan]

Here is my connect.

They are apparently trialing this upgrade in Preston, Blackpool and Wigan.

[boizzones]

They had been trialing it for about 2 or 3 months but it stopped and reverted back to 4 meg about 2 weeks ago (I'd been one of the "trial-ees"), but this isn't a trial now, this a proper fixed upgrade.

[SoorgoBardy]

Any idea if the 2mb is getting upgraded as well?

[boizzones]

Well my mate is on the 2meg and when I asked him yesterday it hadnt changed so maybe not.

[OWDavid]

im getting pig sick of the "traffic shaping" BS on my connection... I can be downloading quite happily on my 20mb connection and then suddenly drops out to a 5mb connection for the rest of the night... whats the deal? im paying for a speed i am not getting? joke tbh... [thumbdown]

Just tried that, did another speedtest, and now it's slower than last night

you do know theres a download limit at peak times?
if you download more than 3gb between 4pm and 12am you get your connection set to crappy speeds
