The good news:-It would seem I got it today. The not so good:
Your current download speed is: 5.56 Mbps. Can't have it all.It's about what I received when last they gave me a month's "free" update.

Just in case anyone is interested, after having a moan on the newsgroup about not getting more than 5.5Mbps, and being asked to connect to the modem direct and carry out various tests,I found that my then router (AT AR220E) was the culprit for reduced downloads.
After replacing it with a D-Link DIR301 I now get near 10Mbps downloads.
I now have a bit of a red face, as when I first tried direct to modem I swear it was no faster.
Whatever, I'm chuffed to death with the new speed. It was well worth the £35 cost of a new router. I'm also pleased with the help from the newsgroup people, (virginmedia.support.broadband.cable). Beats the phone India bit into a cocked hat.
