it is just some gay rebranding to make it sound new and different. When you hear vivid you think of something new, crisp, fresh and vibrant.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
yup, as soon as you say vivid I think of bold colours and something that "stands out" over everything else and maybe that is what VM want you to think. There must be a psychological term for that, subliminal product association or something.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
'Ordered' an upgrade just now (not 2016 as previously stated);
Your order
SuperFibre 70
Your extras
Don't worry, we will email you in the next 48 hours to let you know the exact cost of your services. We'll make sure you get the best price we can give you based on the mix of services you hold in your package.
Thing is, I do worry. Why would VM talk about 'exact cost of your services' when VM tell you it's a free upgrade?

I'm guessing that this is a standard message that VM's software displays even if the upgrade is free. But worth checking their next message!

When I ordered the upgrade I got the same message and there was no increase in charges.

Re: Virgin Media 70, 150 & 200 Mb Upgrades
Our speed upgrade to 70Mb has been put back a month. Was by the end of November, now the end of December. Not that fussed to be honest if it means that more work is needed.
