in any case still worth seeing what you get straight from the modem before fiddling with anything.

Netgear FVS124G. Yet to check with a slaptop, though - which is worth doing before I bitch at Virgin.

Richard Branson did send me a personal message saying he was going to up me to 100M, but then the "Virgin Team" said they had made a mistake and didn't mean to send that message. I'll mention it by shouting at him the next time I see him on telly.

ah yeah, theres your problem. or at least one of them - that router only seems to handle Up to 11.5 Mbps WAN-to-LAN. some people report even less depending on config.
time to replace that i expect.

Got another email from Virgin saying they'll be upgrading my 20Mb to 60Mb and they've not retracted it this time. They're given themselves 80 months though.
