Early upgrade to 100MB
Managed to get my broadband upgraded early, but done seem to be getting the 100MB speed as advertised. in know it is up to 100 mb but only seem to get close to that at certain times of day.

I was told that area isn't due to be upgraded till the summer July onwards would this be the reason why it isn't that fast. Could it be the lines and cabinets aren't capable of these speeds.

Re: Early upgrade to 100MB
Apparently there is 2 other people have it in the area as I spoke with 100 MB tech support first before ordering it as sales where denying it was available. they tested the cabinet i am on and was able to tell me this.
Although technically you could be put on a 100Mb profile before your area was ready, this is very unlikely to happen due to the way the upgrades are managed.
Just noticed today that my speed has doubled from 50Mb to 100Mb, thought i would have been sent an e-mail to let me know, but nothing, i aint bothered about the e-mail anyway, just delighted im on the 100Mb and its as steady as a rock.....
