well looks like the renfrew area of G81 has been updated, as I rebooted modem and the configuration is now up to the 10mb.

it is faster but not as fast as I thought it would be, maybe a rendering issue

Earlier in the thread ( post 846)you recommended someone tests their speed by downloading files. I have just noticed that the site that I use has added a 'download test files' option to their speed test. Do you think that it will give an accurate result?

Yes, they should (as it says) be more representative of real usage. Also note (again, as it says) they'll count towards your download limit until STM kicks in.

Best to do it out of the proscribed hours...

Cheers for that Coggy. I tried it yesterday and was surprised at the reading as it was almost the same with the downloading going on as with out it.

:erm: With the amount of up loading I am doing at the moment I am being really careful of my timings. Otherwise I would have a permanent STM.

I'm getting worried about you Jo, third blonde moment today. I'm Cobby, not Coggy...

You on the laptop in the garden with a large G & T? ;)

Although my area (Glasgow) is showing complete, I am still only getting 4mb. I contacted tech support and they said that although my area is showing complete, not the whole of this area actually is....confused? me too. What makes it strange is that if I plug in another (spare) modem the Maximum Downstream Data Rate shows 10mb but when I plug up my existing modem it goes back to 4mb. I have been advised to wait until the end of June which was the original completion date. Why did they not just leave the update page alone.

By the sounds of things, your current modem can't handle 10Mb?

Why would you have more than one Modem?
