Remember to allow plenty of time for each device to initialise before moving on to booting the next one ...

cheers for that, but could you give us a detailed description of what to do cause ive tried to get it going on ethernet but it never seems to get the internet on, always says its offline if its not connected with usb.

June is one third of the way through. Any sign of progress yet in the areas of East Anglian designated for upgrade this month; Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Ipswich?

first thing is to uninstall the USB drivers so there are no conflicts.

secondly check in device manager that the network adapter is present & showing as working with no problems. Enable it, if not.

turn everything off, connect the modem to the ethernet port using a normal 'straight through' cat5 cable.

Re-boot the modem & allow it to initialise properly (synch & ready lights are lit & steady).

Re-boot the PC & let it finish the initialisation tasks.

- you 'should' now be able to connect using your normal browser..

Hi, I am happy to report that I now have my 10mb!

You may remember that Virgin told me that my Ambit 120 was not compatible with the 10mb upgrade, so they sent out a new one, which I received 2 days early- an Ambit 256.

After plugging it in, a short activation call with Virgin and a few PC restarts, everything was up and running at 10mb.

Thanks to everyone who helped- (or read) my posts, I hope the information and outcome can be used to help someone who may come across the same or similar issue.

I've just visited the 'where's my upgrade' page, and noticed that Baguley has a listing now. Still in the month of TBC like most other things, but at least Warrington is listed, so maybe they haven't forgotten after all.

I've just looked on a map at the places listed under Baguley (Birkenhead, Macclesfield, Runcorn, Stoke, Warrington, Brombrough, Stretford, Wilmslow, Withington)

I assume that the places listed are the areas bounding it's perimeter. I never realised what a large area Baguley server covers.
