Do you have to phone 'em up and say upgrade me, or will they auto?

You've got 17.6Mbps in one test, you sure it's not been upgraded?

Either way, you sig is a little off "disgusting" - for £2 more your getting another 10Mbps down and a few more up. Unless you plan on doing major p2p or running your own hosting it's more than enough.

Re: Anyone on the 20mbit/s yet?

Are you ex-NTL? It seem most ppl getting the upgrade early are ex-NTL areas.

What modem do you have? and what config file is the cable modem using? Is it using similar naming system? ie: cm-20480-768 ??

I think what he meant by ex-NTL was were you NTL before the rebranding to Virgin. There was NTL and there was Telewest.
