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.
I don't want to upset you but i got the 120 modem & i was on 10mb for a few months (till after 2mb went unlimited). I always got the full 10mb speed & completely stable.
