So, not sure what that's all about. Last time when I went from 2Meg to 4Meg I noticed very little difference in downstream speed originally but it turned out that was due to Zone Alarm (since removed) throttling the speed for some reason.

Baguley is TBC so I think any speed improvements you have seen are just wishful thinking see link.
