Since my "upgrade" to 2Mbs my speed fell through the floor!. I spend 8 hours a day in front of an NTL connected PC and, frankly never got > 3Mbs, Realplayer even re configured itself to dial-up settings on more than one occasion. Then something struck me, the CM had been hidden behing the telly, BUT it did have lights flashing 24/7. It did this after several reboots and several ipconfig /renews. A power down over a weekend however resulted in lights that flash ONLY when I'm surfing. I consistantly achieve speeds over 1000k downloading from MS. (I'm a Microsoft Certified Learning Consultant).

Thought this info may help someone.
