My modem still says I'm on 4Mb, but I've just restarted it and now I'm on 10Mb woo.

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer

I'm in Northamptonshire, but I don't see the new speed yet. The modem's (Ambit 120) status page says "Software Upgrade OperStatus : failed". Rebooted it a few times, but no change.

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer

I'm in Cardiff, the upgrade page says the upgrade in this area is complete, but I'm still on 4mb after rebooting the modem. Is the page wrong?

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer

Just had a reply in the broadband support newsgroup - apparently I should definitely now be getting 10mb. They are looking into why I'm not. Hopefuly it'll all be sorted soon - must say I'm pretty impressed with the speed of response in the newsgroups.

No upgrade in Cardiff CF14 either, but the error log is odd
