Depends on what speed you're paying for

I'm with Virginmedia (ex-telewest and blueyonder) I've had 4Mb line for ages, then yesterday they upgraded it to 10Mb for free.

It's not the cheapest, but after reading the horror stories of ISDN et al I'm sticking with it

All free upgrades are complete Fozzie, you just need to reboot your modem.
Easiest way is to unplug the power lead from the back for a few seconds

You don't know the meaning of slow
We are 6k from the exchange and apparently this is as fast as we will get with todays equipment.

I have found that anyone who sees low download speeds is normally being throttled by their ISP. Too much downloading...

Ah yes...my area was upgraded back in May...trouble is I connect via a set-top box, and they can't take the speed, so I will have to go for modem instead.....

That's what I need to arrange...

Thanks anyway
