2mbit before - pretty stable on the whole...
10mbit upgrade - Speeds went from 512K speed to 5mbit
New flash rom upgrade to SB4100 - speeds are pretty constant at 2-3mbit, most i see tonight so far was 4mbit (whoa)...

Now for all those speed testing, seeing crap results - every man, woman and child (and his dog) will be either downloading or speed testing to see that Magic 10mbit speed - this in turn will flood the network / UBR and thus slow speeds. As per the Advice above really - either leave it for a few days to let it all settle down or try very late at night / early in the morning. If the speeds are still crap then again, I suggest you leave it a few days to allow for the Upgrade on NTL end to take place (I assume they are installing something to give all 10mbit)...

Question is - what is the rush to have 10mbit right now? do you have a urgent file to grab and need it like yesterday? Do you just want to see the download speeds say 10mbit (or close to)? It will happen as proven by the modem upgrades of late and more people posting with faster speeds.
