I was just doing some research online after seeing the RFP date of 01/06/2011 on Sam Knows and when I did the check availability tool on BT's website I got a response that my number will have BT Infinity available on 01/07/2011 and to register my interest for early installation.

This sounds promising. Does anyone have any info as to when Virgin might be aiming to upgrade our area to 100Mbps?

It's a serious toss-up at the moment as to whether to go BT or Virgin. I do freelance IT and work from home a lot so upload speed is very important to me. BT's initial offering is slated at 10up/40down and Virgin is 5up/50down, but Virgin's 100 service is 10up as well so if that's imminent then that could tip the scales.

BTW- new to the forum, what a brilliant resource!
