Just been upgraded from 10mb to 20mb, but know my internet is slower!

I think it is fine for me.

I think it is a case of if it is not broken don't fix it.

This is part 3 as the other threads became too long. There are links to the other 2 threads in the first post.

someone posted a youtube vid on that link that they said kept buffering, on my infintiy it loaded in under 2 secs fully to end.

whatever is the issue with VM I suspect its far from minor, either severe under capacity which the numerous capacity upgrades they said they have done in the past 2 weeks still not adressing or is some other issues as well with how VM's network is configured, maybe traffic management systems or something as well. On my VM it just doesnt feel right, on BT it loads as fast as it can, on VM it seems like its been throttled back.

Hi all,

I am supposed to get 60Mb but get only half - should I get a new router and only use the superblub as a modem.

As what TH says, but yes - whatever might be the problem, even oversubscription in your networkj segment, your chances are best with modem mode, though you do have to lay out dosh for a decent router.
