Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
Everyone should have been rebooted remotely out of hours - certainly some people (naming no names) were so impatient that they rebooted and got it beforehand, or didn't wait to check!

I had to reboot myself at 6.20 this morning before it showed 1.5meg.
Though saying that, it is the first time I have not had to go through the registration pages to get back on after a change.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
I did a speed check this morning (8 am), it still said I was on 1MB, (the ADSL Guide speed tested) I had rebooted my stb before checking. I'm in Manchester.
