But 100mb will allow you to download around 10mbps which is easy for a sata hdd to cope With

Speed upgrade for all Virgin Broadband customers

Here’s some brilliant news for everyone who’s signed up to our fibre optic broadband: in one of our most ambitious projects ever, we’re going to be giving you all a speed boost!

If you’re currently on up to 10Mb, up to 30Mb or up to 50Mb broadband, we’ll double your speed. If you’re on up to 20Mb you’ll be tripled. And for those on Broadband 100, we’ll be boosting you up to a mighty 120Mb – a new benchmark as the UK’s fastest widely available broadband.

We want to make sure that Virgin Broadband stays the fastest in the UK, so that our customers can enjoy exciting online services like streaming HD movies and online gaming to the full.

From February 2012, our engineers will be working up and down the country, upgrading our fibre optic network area by area. It’s a massive job that will take up to 18 months to complete.

There’s no need to take any action for the time being. We’ll be in touch soon about when you can expect your area to be upgraded.

Postcode checker dont work for me either !

For those who are on 100mb do you ever download faster than your hdd can write? Seen this problem with newsleecher on sata2 drives. 120mb will be great for those with sata3 drives but otherwise you wont get to enjoy the full speed.

120mb = 12MB/sec. Even the slowest hard drive should be able to keep up with that.

Doesn't work for me either in IE9 but works fine on google chrome Feb-March 2012

AFAIK I can see there are no dates yes. Roll out to start in Feb and will take 18 months to complete. Knowing my luck if its anything like 100mb and upload increase roll outs I will be towards the end of the list
