Looks like Bromley (BR* ***) has the U/G for 2Mb/s (L)Users.

Just sorted my neighbours SACM (120) and all is fine.

Of course I get 10Mb/s for less than next door pays for 4Mb/s - and it is super-fine :) And NO, it's not a dodgey modem, just asked the nice CS people for a good deal :)

That is all.

Still nothing here in Worthing :o:

Edit: Think I've got the speed upgrade now, the speed test keeps changing its mind but just tried a download off a UK server and got consistent 450kb/s from it so that would suggest I've been upgraded.

Just rebooting the modem is not enough? Do we have to release/renew our IP ? (Even actually it doesn't renew... ;) )
