that is what is weird. The increased upload speed wasn't a one off. When I first noticed it I sat there watching it thinking it was burst speed and waited for it to come back down to its usual 1.42MB/sec but it sustained 1.6-1.7MB/sec for well over 1 hour. I still thought it was a one off but it happened time and time again during the day and night for well over a week. The weird thing is that my config didn't change, it stayed at 152/12. I can't remember whether I took a screen dump of it but I defo remember telling Igni about it in the thread thinking that he could shed some light on it.

You're not going insane in the mind, I noticed this too. I was seeing higher upload to multiple sources on and off until my firmware rolled back.

They'll be reactivating Public WiFi in the trial area (Reading) in the not too distant future. I'll specially look out for this, assuming they reinstate the 3 or 4 upstream channels.

Btw afaik, with an updated/corrected firmware.

This shouldn't be more than two lines of code to fix. But then Q.A., regression testing, change control and all that faff...

Indeed. Yet look how long it's taking. I'm informed that there is a new firmware coming and that the Public WiFi trial will be rescheduled for the Reading Area. Date not communicated to me.
