Hello,
I upgraded from 2Mb to 10Mb broadband last week, I have the modem which i was given by Virgin when i first joined. It is a "Conexant HDA D110 MDC V.92"
What I would like to know is , should i upgrade the modem or should they have sent me a better one?
The reason i ask is because my speeds are averaging 5.5 - 7 Mb download and 0.55 Mb upload, depending on the time of day. I feel they should be faster as when i was on 2MB i was consistantly getting 2-2.5 Mb whatever time of day.
If I do need to upgrade the modem could anyone recomend a good one, (a nice balance of budget and function would be nice, I'm not interested in paying for a name if a cheaper one is just as good). Thanks
