I've checked the modem on the Virgin site and it says ours should work with new speed. We do have 2 computers connected through a router which was also rebooted, so I'll just have to wait and see what happens next.
A few ways you can check to see if you've been upgraded.
  1. Check the modem config
  2. Try downloading from a multisource site like a premium news server (Though might still read lw on an over subscribed UBR)
  3. On a speed test site (though ignore the download and see what the upload says (about 370Kb for 4 Mb and 500Kb for 10Mb)
