Weston is fed from the Nailsea hub site, which in turn is fed from Aztec West. If it isn’t included in the Bristol “switch on” it will be imminent

That must be with an offer as Ultimate Oomph without Gig1 is £139.

Gig1 Fibre Broadband is unavailable in your area but the great news is you can still choose from one of our other speedy plans

Interesting, I know people in WSM have been offered Hub 4s in the past few days, so I assume that does mean that d3.1 is imminent.

The daft thing is, I saw a Virgin Media van in Sherwood this afternoon and on the side of the van it was advertising Gig 1.
Pointless as it's still not available in Nottingham.

Got a VM email today stating "Gig1 Fibre Broadband is now in your area",
What 'area' that is it neglected to say, so let's assume N. LIncs.
It also states
Quote:
The legal stuff:
Services only available in Virgin Media network areas. Subject to survey, network capacity and credit check.
|
I won't bother though, 100 Mbps (86 actual) is still good enough for my needs.

You might being short-changed. You should get 100Mb at least, unless your personal config/set up prevents it.

I've never had anywhere near 100, in fact it used to be a mere 75 ish, anyway I believe 'up to' is the quoted phrase

Not anymore, 'up to' was phased out and 100Mb is now advertised as 108Mb, with an expected speed range of 109-112Mbps.
if you never reach 100Mb there is a problem somewhere.

Oh I never knew that. Well there might be a problem somewhere, but it's not worth all the (probable) hassle involved to get it sorted for a potential 20Mb speed increase
Would be nice to get the bill reduced by around £20 a month, but there's as much chance of that as Watford winning some silverware

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster
£35 set up even if it's QuickStart?
In my previous broadband upgrades, I never heard of £35 for set up before.
