Click on the link below, then on Login & enter root for both username & password

Then choose Operation Configuration.

If you're on 20 meg you should see:

Maximum Downstream Data Rate : 20480000

On that same screen do you see:

Maximum Upstream Data Rate : 768000

How are you testing your upload speed?

[caroline]

yes thats the same as well , im not really testing my upload speed as such just if im downloading it uploads at around 90 kbs , and yes i know it depends on whos downloading and uploading it etc

You need to click on Login at top left after that...

[multiskilled]

Thanks but there is no login button visible on my screen.Would do a screen shot but can't remember how.

[Cobbydaler]

There's no button, just the word Login top left...

Some modems supplied by VM, like the Motorola I use don't require a login.

If you're ex Telewest on a Surfboard then sorry, I don't know...

Ok thanks for the info guess it is some thing to do with surfboard modem and being ex Telewest.
Maybe someone who is ex Telewest could try and see if they get the same results.

The Surfboard modems, like my SB5100, don't require a login. Just ignore that part of Cobbydaler's instructions.

The data rates can be found under the logs tab, look for a line like this: "SW Download INIT - Via Config file cm-20480-768" - that means 20480 down and 768 up - the rates you'd expect for 20MB.
