My modem log still reports the network as being 64QAM despite rebooting the modem several times.

It's therefore safe to assume the network update did not occur.

Seeing as the server is in desperate need of attention and a scheduled update has not gone ahead, I am now considering leaving Virgin Media and looking for a different ISP.
Use this to see if you are close enough to get a decent speed from ADSL
