Just rebooted mine and got a new snazy speed of 20MB :D
A watched modem never upgrades, till one day you reboot it.

Same here in Hemel 20meg downloads, nice steady speed with a VM255, it will go down to 5meg at 4pm tho but its a gd start and thank you VM.. for a change . lol
It's really not necessary to start a new thread every time an area gets upgraded. We'll end up with this forum full of "we got it" threads and the less people who know about the 20meg upgrade on Teesside the better ;).

With the last upgrades (4Mb to 10Mb) my modem rebooted itself automatically. I went to college, came back and it was faster.
Ah the good old days. I remeber when all this was fields :)
