AFAIK the letter the OP is speaking of is actually a letter specifically to do with BT's local loop unbundling upgrades. Gets complicated here, Bt are performing their own set of speed upgrades independent of Eircoms June upgrade and is an ongoing thing. Bts local loop unbundling upgrade will provide 8mbit to major urban centres while the Eircom upgrade which is nationwide will mean that Bt's customers outside of major urban areas will be able to receive 7.6mbit (as resold Eircom). To summarize, yes you will get upgraded soon but unless you are in a major urban area you will not the upgrade they are talking about in the leaflet but instead the Eircom upgrade.

Know that Eircom have said they are upgrading in June.

What I wanted to know was does anyone know that they are definitively going to be finished upgrading every exchange they have by July 1.
