There is NO extra charge for the upgrade, and you wont be getting a new modem as some members may think, vm just flash up 10mb to your existing modem..FREE of charge ...jay

When i first visited the speed upgrade site, it stated that I needed a new modem and I could have one sent out for free. I contacted VM and informed them that my SB4100 supports 36meg and the next time I went ion the site, I just had to register for the upgrade.

The speed was upgraded 48 Hours later

Hi, the £2 is an increase in price of the service regardless of whether anyone has had their speed increased.

Their website is a bit poor when they say that you will need a modem when this is not the case.

I have a 255, I was informed I needed a new modem and one was on its way to me. When it did not turn up, I rang them up. The person told me that my modem is fine even for the 20mbps service so a modem is not on its way. Not that I needed to be told.

Anyway, they are upgrading areas at different times. Have a look on their site which should tell you when your area will be "boosted" . They seem to go to dynamic configs first before upgrading the speeds with people registering getting a priority. The checking feature should be working, if not there is always 150.

I reckon if people complained you wouldnt have to pay the £2 extra a month and you wanted to stick with 2Mb. Ive been upgraded and I notice s*** all of a difference

i recently recieved my upgrade for leicester. got it early as it was scheduled for august/september time. i was suppose to get a new modem but it never came and i've been getting the correct speed of 1.17mb speed which is the same as 1200kb.

You may just have to wait it out until august/september then when you get a new modem even though you received the 10Mb broadband already and you're paying for it. If you dont get it in September, just complain to VM
