How long does it take for Virgin media to update the broadband speed?
I just upgraded the speed to 10meg, but i tested the speed and its still 2meg.
I rebooted the modem, but still. Earlier on the speed was kinda up and down, but now its stuck at 2meg.

If you are not getting the speed unplug modem completley from the socket leave for 30 seconds then plug in again. Sometimes needs this.
