Thanks, I am using the Dlink router. What is the difference between the virgin firmware and Dlinks own?

best thing to do dude is to pop along to speedtest.net and run a test from the Maidenhead server. If everything is hunky dory you should you 50mbits down and 1.7 ish up, I always do

You can't really generalise like that

I've always found the London server to be the most consistant.

Just power cycled both modem and router, things seem fine now. Not convinced as it is late at night?
