A curry would be enough (although I don't feel I deserve it because all my advice is speculation!). If you want to lend me the modem - I'll accept. Perhaps you can advise me.

How would I take advantage of that firmware so as to raise my sync speed from 1.5 to 3 meg (the theoretical maximum for my distance)? I know I'd need to interact with O2 support - but will that firmware make a difference? I'm not as well up on that side of the broadband fence.

Dont forget that the other 2 guys on my UBR that posted also had the climbing codewords so whilst I remain optimistic that does throw a spanner in the works, maybe thats number 3

Dont like number 2 or 3 that would never be found!
Looking at the photo of a street cab, I'd say they could do what you suggest.

Are the other 2 guys on different street cabs?

#2 and #3 could be found quite easily IMO. #2 would be kicked off by the result of the cabinet test. #3 can be read in the CMTS MIBs available to 2nd line support.
