That's interesting as I'm in Wythenshawe too, also with a Samsung STB and I'm not seeing speeds on my general internet use today that amount to anywhere near 4mb. I'll have to run a test tonight. How long have you had this for?

Have you rebooted your modem? I'm in Basingstoke (via Reading); that was also listed for today (the 13th), but the new speed didn't kick in until I rebooted just now.

But my web browsing is still very slow if I am downloading from newsgroup which wasn't the case before the upgrade.

It's almost as if the modem has been tweaked to only allow it to concentrate on one thing or the other. If I stop downloading then the web browsing is quicker than it used to be but with a 4 meg download service I should't have any problems downloading and browsing at the same time.

It's the same if I am download anything from a web page, while the download is ongoing the web browsing is very slow.

This did not happen before the upgrade.

Is that just a power down for a minute?

I tried that around 4pm - but still 2m.

[grubbymitts]

well, got home turned pc and modem on, still on 2mb here in ST5 boo hiss!

I have an ntl250 - have powered off for one minute and still runs averaging 2m on speedtest.

So I take it nothing in Oxford yet.

Upload tests via 3 people doing HTTP download was around 48-53KB/s

Had to reboot modem to get it. Download speed is a not quite 4Mbps but still, not bad for free!
