General : Did I get upgraded..?

[Blackened]

Boo...

SH2 arrived this morning. All up and running with 200mb config file showing (http://i.imgur.com/8mzjzeC.jpg), but sadly still same poor speed.
Spoke to CS who logged in remotely and booted me into safe mode to run speed checks - yep, still less than 100Mb. Been told now to wait 24hrs to "let it settle down"... Jeez.
Starting to regret making that telephone call now.

let it settle down... Yeah, is it settled not during peak times by any chance?

It's absolutely constantly poor all day no matter what time I check tbh.

Welcome to my hell, and even going back to the package before mine is still poor. It's like they put you onto a different segment and you stay there speed irrelevant.

This is now my saviour. VM is being canned in 24 days for good.

Wow..

Boy, do I regret making that call.

Is that the 200mb upload speed? The CS told me mine should stay at 12mb up.

Wahey - got 92 there! lmao...

Errm. All appears to be well.
And rather than just leave this and not reply so I didn't look a berk, I'll say that in desperation/randomly trying things that were previously OK, I tried a different driver for my network card and it appears to be sorted.

A salutory lesson in always keeping drivers up to date.

With free apps like I/OBit driver booster etc about there's no excuse really not to.

Actually rolled back this one, Pip.

Indeed that is the 200mbit upload speed.

I wasn't sure to be honest. If you look at 23prince's screenie, his says 18.89.
My upload speed has been at 12-13 all the time I was on 152.

He's showing a speed test of his BT FTTC connection, that's why.
12 (and a little bit)Mbps is the Upstream speed, it hasn't really changed for the 200Mbit.

Ah, I see.
Thanks Kush.
