Well i have now been upgraded to 10Mb, restarted the modem several times, config. files say 10Mb downstream and 0.5Mb upstream, and yet i am only getting about 3Mb using various speedtest sites.

i called VM helpline and they say my 5 year old "ntl 250" modem should be fine for the 10Mb service.

Is this true? why can i only see download speeds of 3Mb??

is the ntl 250 good enough for this or do i need the new 256 which many of you seem to be getting?

Thanks!
