I`m curious to know if any Virgin Media users in the UK using the XL broadband service have had the upgrade from 10mbit to 20mbit yet.....and more importantly if they even know about it??
For those who dont know about it Virgin Media`s 10meg connection will be upgraded to 20meg on May 1st for a £2 increase in price taking it to £37 a month but the 10mbit will supposedly fall in price by around £15 in the next few weeks.

I only know about it myself cause i visit the VM cable forums and checking my speeds today it seems something has already happened as i`m now hitting about 15mbit .....no letters from VM yet though and indeed no extra £2 charge on my bill so i`m just curious who else even knows about it?
Personally we`ll be taking the £15 drop in price and staying at 10meg as even that is more than we could ever really need.As far as i understand it you`ll never see those kinds of download speeds anyway unless you use usenet\newsgroups etc.....is that right?
The only time i ever SEE those kinds of speeds are if i go do a bloody speedtest at 1am
Hell your lucky if we ever get the full potential of our separate 1meg connection never mind the 10
