Still nothing here in Stoke. Not even a 2 > 4 > 2

Looks like it'll be the very end of the month for us

So why is it that ALL the speed tests I use, off this site & others, I'm still on 2 Mb...1.9Mb to be precise.??

Anyone have any ideas????

Using a Home200 cable modem by the way.

Maybe your not actually on 4mb yet, try rebooting your modem and that may solve it.

Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg

Do I have to reboot or does clicking the reset button in the admin web interface do the same thing - modem's in the attic and I am not, so rebooting it is not easy...

all you need to do really is to turn off the power to the modem so if you can just get to the power point it's that simple leave it off for 5 mins and then just plug back in and it should work if the upgrade has been done in your area

But that means getting a ladder, opening the loft, squeezing in through the loft hatch, trying not to fall between the joists and then powering off the modem. If clicking reset in the web admin page does the same then I don't need to bother, but if I did all the above and it has not been upgraded, then I need to do it all again in a week or so's time...

As far as I know you will have to turn it off... but I think 5 mins is a little over the top... try 15 seconds

If you have an isolation circuit in the attic you could trip that instead of crawling around... but I guess you prob won't have that, so time to get crawling... of course you DO know that if you go crawling they won't have upgraded you.... but if you don't they will have upgraded you...

How about switching off the mains supply or is that in the attic too. sounds like a strange setup if it is. Lol you could always ask the meter reader next time he's in the attic.
