the 250 can only handle if memory serves me, is 40Meg+

So a new modem will be needed when 50meg comes out.

I was told by an VM agent that 120meg is being looked into.

Without sounding rude it seems like VM Customer Care/Sales are just giving out any figures at the moment, we are getting 50MEG/100MEG and now 120MEG LOL!!

Next we will be told that we are getting 1GIG next year ;)

We know for a fact that 50MB is being publically trialled right now, and that VM have tested 100MB in lab conditions, but I have to wonder what is to be gained by touting any old figure when the current speeds on offer should be sufficient to attract the ordinary punter like you and me.

Sorry to have to correct you, but I just hate it when people say B as b. There are eight bits to the Byte, just to clarify. And B is Byte, whereas b is bit. The service being provided is measured in bits, not bytes. ;)
