Has the long promised upgrade from 4mb to 10mb happened at last in Sheffield?
I noticed I'm getting 6mb now which I never had before and "10mb" is probably Virginspeak for 6mb.

they have, you need to reboot your modem for it to work propery though. I was downloading at 1150kbps this morning, normally maxs out at around 480kbps

mines reset everyday and I am Deffinitly NOT getting that speed.
In fact Ive noticed a problem with channels 101-105 at night too.
I think they are going to have to come look at mine if they are claiming that Im on 10 mb

Noticed Virgin is again generally erratic, like it was Feb-May for me at least. It seemed to be sorted for a few months, zipping along at 11-15mb most of the day, but now lucky to get 2MB of an evening.
