Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer - Page 81

Would anything show up in the modem logs if the upgrade has happened, rather than rebooting the modem to check?

M43 area and still nothing...and like a previous poster put, 2 days left, not feeling very optimistic here....I hope the saying "All good things come to those who wait" turns out to be true

Just rebooted the modem, and the Oldham side of Manchester is now on 10 meg

It took a long time, just hope the wait was worth it.
