Thanks a lot for the replies guys, will try it and see what speed i get. I suppose i will end up getting the modem solution but just worried in case it ruins my normally excellent service. on all the speed test sites (including this one) i generally get 3.80-3.90 mb/s. the only problem that i had was when i was upgraded to 4mb a year or so back and that was resolved within days. excellent service for me thanks VM.
