    Yeah...I got the enginer coming down on Monday AM....

    I did asak about it...he said that he has done the installation for free.... yeah right...there was nothing to install....

    The £20 was for activation...basically the virtual swtich needs to be enabled (activate the port im guessing).

    Possibly will be getting the new cisco routers that are out there....

    Ok...just been on to tech support....

    And done more tests....now getting download at 48-50mb/s

    But Upload has not been upgraded in my area...Should be bumped up to 5Mb/s in the next month or so.

    I also found out that off 200 peeps on my UBR...there is only 20 peeps who have 50MB lines...And the highest utilisation has been 60%...

    Happy days......

    Also ...only peer to peer and usenet traffic is monitored so to speak...and throttled at 50%... So even then 25Mb/s.... not bad

    Hmmmm It's is very tempting.
    I can't only get 2Mb on ADSL.

    Or 37Mb on BT Infinity.

    Too many choices, and all too much for me at the moment!!
