hi about a week ago i turned my computer on in the morning, modem booted up(sb4100) then the computer booted then the modem died and my download has been steady since no matter what.
there is at least 2 other people with 10 meg on my street.
speeds?
down = 1.2 to 1.4 meg a sec :D
up = 58 kb/sec to 60 kb/sec :D

Few things you need to check:

1. Are you def 100% on 10mbit speeds? sounds like your still on 3mbit. Do a Speed test on ADSL Guide and look at the Upload part - does this say 300 or 512k ???

2. DId you call TS? They helped me on finding out the problem due to congestion on my channel.

3. Speeds will be all over the shop esp in the evening anyhow...

HFC: T4 Timer Expired
Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request, but no Unicast Maint
Received Async Error Range Failed
HFC: Shutting Downstream Down

and it reboots :confused:

Didn't happen before the upgrade :(

It happens very occasionally on other websites too, but never during gaming etc
I am experiencing exactly the same problems with one specific website.

Its strange, http://bbc.co.uk/ works fine every time, but http://bbc.co.uk/weather/ causes the modem to reboot 9/10 times.

Anyone ele had this issue with this or other websites?

Called CS, got a very pleasant young lady (in the UK!) who told me that it hadn't been released yet, wouldn't be until February no matter what tier you are on now. That a letter would be sent out when they were ready to upgrade me.... ...guess I can either wait, try again or downgrade to 2 meg first. Best stop before I go too far off topic

If you are using a router check that its WAN port can support full 10Mb
Some older models have a half duplex 10Mb WAN port, so you will only realy see 50-70% speeds.
I am currently avaraging 700k a sec thru my router, with a direct connection I hit 900k instantly.
