Hmmm

Interesting. I have the following on a NTL 100 silver modem:

*********************
Network Access : Enabled
Maximum Downstream Data Rate : 10240000 bps
Maximum Upstream Data Rate : 512000 bps
Maximum Number of CPEs : 1
Software Upgrade File Name : ntlhm100_ntl0001.cpr
Software Upgrade AdminStatus : allowProvisioningUpgrade
Software Upgrade OperStatus : completeFromProvisioning
******************

However, no change what so ever in speed. I was on 3Mbit - if anything its slightly worse. Reported this to faults who ran some tests but could not find a problem. Could be a general network problem I guess but I can not even get Microsoft downloads to go any faster than before.

It does make me wonder if the 'software' side of things at the modem are being upgraded, but if the 'area hardware / software' is not up to scratch then it will not work. Its a bit like installing a larger water main pipe into your home - but still only having the same amount of water flowing in (perhaps)..
