This was easly changed to 768kb/s by loggin on to the NTL Homeworld website and upgrading. "Took seconds to do!" Noticed the differance straight away.
i can,t wait for the speed upgrade. Anyone know how this will happen? "Will we all just wake up one morning and find our web browsing running @ warp factor?"
or will we be notified by a van driving around with a loud speaker bolted to the roof?
Thank you all again for your advise and pointing me in the right direction.(Cool)

The upgrade is supposed to be virtually instantaneous, but you may have to reboot the modem (power cycle, leave off for 30 seconds) before it takes effect.

I suspect NTLs 2 megabit will be 2,000,000 bit/s (The 300k is definitely 300000 bit/s at the moment as defined by the cable modem config).
One byte is about 8.5 bits, 1kByte/s = 1024 bit/s
So I reckon ntl 2MB will be 230kBytes per second if you can find a server that will download fast enough!
