Upgrade from 20mb to 60mb

Any advice would be appreciated I have today upgraded to the superhub to enable me to take advantage of the 60 mb upgrade. How long is it before the new 60mb speed becomes available? I have noticed the upload speed has increased to 2.84 mb.
Thanks

Re: Upgrade from 20mb to 60mb

It becomes available as soon as your modem says it is.

Check your modem to see what speed it's running at.

50.25Mb is decent, although i get 62-63Mb. Try again in an hour to see if you're getting any closer to the advertised speeds.

Use the same site as i dont trust speedtest.net very much.

Thanks for the advice. With speedtest you can try umpteen servers and get a wide variety of results.

Just done a few more speed test and I seem to be averaging out at 47mb download and a steady 2.8 mb upload.

Re: Upgrade from 20mb to 60mb

Again, what does your modem say you're on? That's the 100% accurate way of telling.

If he's getting above 50Mb speeds there is no chance he is still on 30Mb and a very high chance he's actually on 60Mb as thats the speed he requested to be upgraded to.

Re: Upgrade from 20mb to 60mb

Could be on anything from 50 to 120. No point in guessing when it takes 10 seconds to find out with 100% certainty.
