Will be receiving a new cable modem from Virgin tomorrow, just renegotiated my package for TV, Phone and 10mb BB and part of the deal was to send me a new (not sure what type) cable modem to replace my old silver ntl ambit. My question is will i notice anything different in terms of speed etc. My old ntl currently hooked to belkin wireless mmo router via ethernet.

Depends - do you currently get 10mb/s stable?

It'll be an ambit 256 modem.

not too bad 9868kb/s.

it may increase reliability but speed wise looks like your current modem is doing fine.

Thanks Tech Boy - ambit 256 actually arrived today, replaced earlier and carried out speedtest with the same results as previous however upload speeds improved dramatically. No noticeable change although it does seem to be a bit quicker switching pages.
