Good news for me I asked them a month ago to upgrade from 10 to 20 and they wanted an extra £10 per month. Now I'm getting it free

I got another e-mail today saying they are putting the price of my 50mb down in April until I get my upgrade from July onwards, which will be up to 120mb!!
I love Virgin Media.

Mine doesn't come in till July, I'm only on the 30mb package at the moment as I rang up to complain that was all I was getting on my 50mb package and they didn't seem interested in sending me a new modem or resolving the problem so I downgraded.

As soon as the 100mb hits my way I will have it

Got an e-mail Saturday saying the previous e-mail they sent was in error. NOt sure what that means. They say they'll be an announcement in the next couple of weeks.

I got the same email but I never got a previous email anyway?
It made reference to 100mb broadband which I have never had, I've always been on 10mb.

im out in the country and by the sounds of it im livin' in pure luxury with 6mb. The sort of broadband emails we get are would you like to join our cable laying party?! wtf so we have to do the work ourselves to be able to get cable/fibre

Maybe a letter to Sir B. Sir B, while others are living the playboy mansion dreams of 50mb can those in the country with only 2-6mb but have to pay the price of 100mb and who have to lay their own cable to get it, can we shove some decent fibre down there for 100mb and get it free for doin the work for you? Cheers

6mb now that would be nic, until last year we had only 1mb now its been improved to 3mb. My in laws live in a big village but it so far away from the exchange he could only get 56kb He would be better off with tethering to his phones 3G connection
