Re: On 2mb but recieving 10mb speeds!
 

Hi people,

I'm still on the 10mb service, i've also asked a few people i know that live in my area (Bolton) to run a speedtest and they are also recieving upto 10mb. Is this just a trial or have they upgraded us earlier than expected for a change? I also wanted to know how i can recieve 10mb on my pc that's connected to the network via a wireless pci card. I currently recieve around 5-6mb on the wireless pc and the full 10mb on the wired pc. Do i need to change my router or do i just change the wireless card. I currently have a zyxel p320w router. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

The Zyxel P320W is an 802.11g device so you should be able to get upto 54Mbps. Check you've got the latest and greatest firmware and if you have, try moving the wireless PC closer to the router to see if it's the walls in your house that are knocking back your bandwidth.

MM.

While it is great that folks are getting these improvements to the service. This actually represents everything that is wrong with VM.

They are beavering away going for the headline speeds and so now some of the folk in this thread on 2meg are getting far quicker speeds than someone like me on 20meg because they won't improve the network in my area and it is oversubscribed. It really does make me angry. That anger isn't aimed at anyone getting the improved service of course.
