Re: New Speeds - June 1st

Grrr, I still haven't got it and I'm about 15miles west of Brighton so I thought that when Brighton got it, I would as well.

Guess not, then. I turned mine off for just a few seconds before rebooting -- mine's a different box than yours, in case that matters. (Mine's old kit -- SB4100, which I've had for 5 1/2 years.)

I hope someone else in Oxford can confirm/not-confirm the upgrade for you.
