If you have a stable connection at 2 you will have a stable connection at 4.... if not then it is another issue, not "your upgrade".
Not being funny here but do you actually understand the underlying technology here...??

Yes...I worked at ntl for four years.
I know enough to know that things that shouldn't be possible do go wrong. And I also learned the hard way, from dealing with so many customers' issues....if it ain't broke don't even TOUCH it!!
My modem is also an old 120. I realise it should handle 4mb easily (it used to do 3mb at one time), however, it isn't recommended for 10mb and so it does have a limit somewhere in between.
It will all probably be ok anyway, I'd just prefer it if I was left alone with my 22mb until I chose differently.
When I went down from 3mb to 2mb upon leaving ntl 15 months ago, there was no discernible difference whatsoever. The speed did change as the speedchecker indicated this, however you couldn't tell the difference in normal use. Therefore it's a safe bet there'll be very little if any difference when it goes to 4mb. There just isn't any point, for me personally.
