rebooting the modem itself is fairly adequate.

Note: The Maidenhead server won't give you reliable speeds at the moment. Keep with the London one.

use another which is more reliable. but tbh neither speedtest or whatever are accurate.

Is there anywhere where we can see what progress has been made on the roll-out?

I have to admit that is one aspect of the upgrade that has me happy to stay in my un-upgraded little world. My 4MB connection is really rock solid, if the 10MB ever materialises I shall be a tad unhappy if I get a worse service as a result.

I'm in Withington too. We come under the Baguley servers unfortunately. Baguely is still listed as TBC. If you look on the 'where's my upgrade' page again, you will see 'Withington' listed under Baguley.

The good news, though, is that there have already been some users of the Baguley servers who have gotten the upgrade, even though it says TBC....so we're definitely getting upgraded now. Just keep rebooting the modem and wait till they work their way here, I guess.
