Mine is running great now, got my router set up again. it seemed to just come on by itself. I had to tinker a little bit so couldn't explain what i done to get it working. Tec bloke that come out to fit the modem didn't help much but he did offer to call round if i needed him. getting 9mb on the hard wired desktop and only 5-6 on the wireless laptop. My question is.. with the laptop being wireless, is that why it only gets 5-6mb. i use a USB dongle which came with my router, i read that usb can only reach certain speeds so would a pccard be better than the usb? In all honesty 5-6 is fine but i am just curious.

I'm from Bradford and am still waiting.

Come On Virgin!

Indeed - does seem to be a more consistent speed since rebooting the modem this morning

St Helens (WA9) here still waiting - I had a feeling it would be at the tailend of summer before we were upgraded, but I didn't expect us to really be one of the last to get the upgrade - I'm hoping it'll reduce the lag issues on xbox live

Like others here I waited in line for my 4 meg connection to be upgraded to 10 meg. When it happened, I had a cracking 9860 kb/s download for a week or so. Now I consistently get 1900 kb/s or thereabouts. The max downstream data rate in op config is 2048000 which looks like 2 meg to me? Shouldn't this be 10240000 after the upgrade? Thanks.

Hmm. I have no lag issues and I'm on 4mb.

I had no issues when I was on 1mb with Tiscalli neither. It might be something else.

That shows settings for a 2MBit connection

Thought so. Something's gone awry in the upgrade process. I'll contact VM. Thanks to all for your help .

When does the upgrade period end?

I'm assuming it's by the end of September.

Didn't VM say the end of Summer? It's nearly gone and we're still waiting here in Bradford.
