EXCELENT !
just been upgraded, various speed tests put me at about 720/730 Kb/s. which isnt to bad at all. i just re-booted the modem this afternoon and it had been done. My dad thinks that 300K is fast enough though so he gonna put us down to that (from 750) to save money

£7 fuxing a month, not worth it IMO. im gonna try talk him out of it

.
thanks to NTL for making this happen so quickly, and so far, very smoothly.
