Restart your modem, see what happens.
I sympathise, believe me. Mine took a while to sort , after the upgrade happened in Stafford.Some of it down to Virgin, mostly down to my router not being good enough for the upgrade.If you are still using a 120 modem that can be part of your problem, far more likely the upgrade is not totally complete. It took a fortnight to settle down here. Even now I'm not totally sorted, I'm having problems (again ) accessing my FTP server files, and this time Abyssunderground has not been able to help, I do know it can work, for 10 days after replacing my router with a newer one,I had all the speed I should, and everything connected
Hopefully this too will pass. I still have the speed correct!
However frustrating waiting is,I still think Virgin and cable a better bet than ADSL. I hear much worse horror stories from freinds stuck with phone line connections via the BT network.They envy those able to choose cable.
