Don't speak too soon - routing issues (you should see where I get sent on Neotraces to look at virgin's own servers - round trip of Europe!) and capacity issues mean a fair few folks in the wakefield area despite having 10Mb config files on their modems are still only getting 4Mb downstream... s'been logged with support... affects multiple UBRs in wakefield area. At best I can get just below 4Mb connectivity, but majority of time it's 2Mb or worse... upstream however is fantastic! Noise levels and everything else check out fine. Tx levels are high in this area which isn't helping (joys of asynchronicity - saturate the upstreams and the downstreams start falling). Waiting for UBR upgrades basically. S'at 2nd line support at the mo afaik.
