Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg

[Bottesford]

NG9 now 4mb after reboot

[Kempy]

Just out of interest, is anyone on a 120 Modem getting around 3.77Mbmps & 3.82Mbps?

[lynnem]

Yep, I was getting that this morning. Off the Newsgroups I was getting full 496kb WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Still on 2mb in WalthamForrest. Meh, NTL eh ?

Mind you, not that it would do me much good, I've been getting sub 20k downloads recently. pathetic.

I'm getting a constant average of 2.7 Mbps no matter what proxy I use.
I am not overly bothered but I may give it a week and if it's the same, call retentions and tell them I only want to pay "up to" £24.99. That way I may be able to pay 3/4 of it. Seems fair enough (albeit, simplistic) to me.

Must be something to up round my way, I'll see if it improves by tomorrow.

Mine was done when I looked briefly this morning, hmmmmm. SACMs seem to need a reboot to get it as I was rather stupid and rebooted mine.

I'm delighted to have the upgrade, as this now gives me the opportunity to roam around the forums acting like a grumpy old curmudgeon because I didn't really want it. However, I shall be able to moan much faster than I would have otherwise.
