I've been posting on various threads about this for some months.
For 3 months I had connection problems. eventually, I got an engineer who swapped my 120 Ambit for a 255 Virginmedia modem, after months of being told there was nothing wrong with the 120.This engineer said that the 120 was basically obsolete, as it could not accept the latest software upgrades.
Immediately I got the speed I was paying for , and reliaility once again.

There used to be a posting on here which said which modems were capable of which speeds. It too said the 120 needed to be changed for anything above 2Mbps.Such posting seems not to exist any more.
Pulled at Virgin's request as costing too much in replacements,maybe?Or is that just me being cynical?
