It looks like you were right... the modem actually says Virgin on it. As it is usually hidden away I hadn't actually read it. My login is ntl and I don't remember ever changing the modem but I guess I must have. What I was trying to say is that it's not a superhub.

Hooking up the computer to the modem is no problem. Where I am lost is what to do then. How do I query the speed once connected? As no DNS servers are defined I can't just type in a speed test website in firefox. This forum seems to say that is not the best way to test anyway.... but I couldn't find what I should be doing. With a very slow internet connection it is almost impossible to do a google search!!!
