Upgrade hasn't worked?

Hi all,

I've just upgraded my 2Mbps connection to 10Mbps (at approx. 21:50 this evening) and as I was informed by the upgrade site, my cable modem rebooted.

The modem is a Terayon TJ210 (connected via Ethernet) - and after reading various comments on whether the upgrade would work on this modem or not, I decided to give it a go.

After the modem rebooted, my connection speed dramatically reduced to 200-300Kbps for around 20 minutes, and now it's running at the nearly-2Mbps speed that it was before (albeit slower).

My question is: does it take a while for the speed increase to be applied, even though I saw the modem reboot when I was told it would? And also, why has my connection speed dropped to lower than 2Mbps?

Thanks for any replies!

Hi again guys,

My connection has just suddenly jumped up to 8.x Mbps d/l - not quite 10Mbps, but better than 1.x Mbps.

Is this what I can expect from an "up-to 10Mbps" service, or should I be getting a bit more than 8.x Mbps?

If I should be getting a faster connection, maybe I'll have to give NTL a ring to arrange for a new modem to be sent out to me

Thanks again,
Daniel
