Hmmm, same area myself, Baguley area, was on the 4mb, which has APPARENTLY just been upgraded to 10. Just unplugged and rebooted the modem and my router to be sure. Got a speed increase, but I could only achieve 6.5mbits p/s despite using ethernet. This was just before 18:00, now the whole thing has ground to a halt (internet access has been semi-intermittent for the past few days) The modem config page reports it has the speed increase.
I downloaded a few hundred megs on rapidshare to test the speeds - averaged just under 7mb/s,but now its going slow again (I thought VM removed the lower download speed nonsense after you've downloaded a certain amount,which I don't think I've hit yet but it hasn't affected me for a while.)
Current speeds (after 18:00) are around 4600kb/s according to speedtest.net, but its fluctuating quite a bit. Gonna give it a few days to settle down, and if things don't improve I'll give VM a call.
as of 19:00 things are looking a little better in the Macc area, still fluctuating a bit, but I'm hopeful for tomorrow morning.
