Thanks for help. I've done speed test again and reading is coming up fairly steadily at download 5344 Kbps and Upload at 364 Kbps.

Go into the modem configuration: -

http://192.168.100.1/

Username and password are both "root". If it says "Maximum Downstream Data Rate : 10240000 bps" under operation configuration, then you've been upgraded. Speed tests aren't always accurate. Sometimes they can be way off.

Sorry to take up more space on this topic, but this is what I get when checking with SpeedTest. Not sure that Dublin is the closest server to Fife, but SpeedTest says it is.
