New Modem Worst !!!!

[Mike]

Hi all

I have been having problems with my 20 mb connection and after a number of calls to tech support and tests an 'engineer' called today.

Basically said you need a new modem.....plugged it in and said wait 30 mins and all should be ok :dozey:

Now I am back up and running I have gone from about 9/8 mb down to 1mb !!!!

I don't know why I tried !

So gone from a large sliver modem where I was always getting around 5-8 mbs to a smaller black one and now getting just under 20mbs.

So based on this it worth putting a call in .

Totally..................but very happy now.

Another point was made ...............to ensure people use the correct power pack with the modem supplied. Engineer said some people just plug the old power (with the same connector) into a new modem which does cause problem with lack of preformance. Still getting
