I access the internet through the set top box, At the moment i get a flawless 4mb with a good ping to my online game server, I only really play on one. What i want to know is how will i be able to tell when i have been upgraded. I can't do the 192.168.1.1 thing to find anything about my modem as it is a stb. I believe the Samsung box is capable of around 6mb which in all honesty is fast enough as i don't bother downloading stuff just use the net and games. We have stopped using the STB for TV and was wondering could i cancel the box as it costs extra tenner or something but still be connected to internet or shall i just take a chance and say i want modem and please take the box away.??

I only ask this now because my area is not yet upgraded CH42 wirral and am concerned in case they disconnect me from the stb and the modem is not as good.
