I thought the 'old' 100 Mb connection (when it was first introduced) had a 10 Mb upload speed, so did it/does it only have 5 Mb? Same as the 50 Mb connection?
Our area is due for upgrades between April and July so I called up last week to see what would happen to my package if I'd asked for an upgrade from 50 Mb to 100 Mb now and maybe have the V+ box swapped for the Tivo. The nice lady said I would save about £6 a month, I could keep a free V box for another room and I would not have to pay the installation fee. So we had it all done today, including a new TV socket in my son's room for the V box. I haven't had time to check the speeds properly yet but the upload is definitely still 5 Mb, as it was. I have ordered a cat6 cable to see if it's going to make much difference; hopefully, it will be here tomorrow. What is the maximum speed I can get on a cat5 cable? Not sure if the make matters but I always buy Belkin cables.
