I live on Wood Sorrel Way and just noticed this thread. I too am on cabinet 69 and was very disheartened to hear from BT that this one cab would not be upgraded. As has already been stated, it's probably no coincidence that they're only upgrading the houses where VM is available. That's catch-22 to me, because if I had VM I probably wouldn't want infinity!

It's worse for me as I've recently moved into the area from having a fantastic 30MB VM service to suffering with a lousy 450kbps ADSL (I honestly wish I'd done my homework better before buying the house, as a quick postcode check stated that I could get VM *AND* infinity would be coming in September. How wrong I was!). Although I have the option of working from home I very rarely take advantage due to the pathetic speeds, and any kind of catchup/lovefilm/gaming is way out of the question.

Here's hoping cab 69 gets its long overdue upgrade!

Have you checked what your phone reception is like in the are?

If I chuck my Three "One Plan" SIM in a USB Dongle at my home address I often get around 5 Meg down, 2 Meg up. "The One Plan" is also totally unlimited for 3G.
