1868 and 384, so it hasn't boosted Vodafone Vodems yet

As I thought, not every one will get upgrade today, you will be upgrade at the end of you billing/bandwidth month.

Using this speedtest, I used to get 3450 down and 124 up. Today I get ....... 3640 down and 124 up.

Also, today (26th) is my billing date, but my usage has NOT been reset.

thats slower than usual...

Whoosh/quicksilver orbit plan

was getting 3410/126
now 3810/120

So d/l is apparently a bit faster and u/l a tad slower. possibly the variation means nothing at all since it might just be the time of day

Strangely enough I thought access was running slower than usual before I did the tests - pages seemed to be 'hanging' for a sec before loading. Maybe I'm imagining things.

I swapped my connection today to the Go Large plan, eventually my xtra usage page updated to say that im on the new plan and used zero data. but its still dil up speed

i too changed to go large and i'm getting 3518up and 128 down.and also when i check my usage it says i'm on the go large plan now and the usage was 3gb and now it's back to zero and there is no max limit there anymore and it's unlimited.

Were you capped before? I hate being on dial up speeds its totally not cool

Now downloading at 2.23Mbits/sec - and that's the max the line can handle anyway, so no change expected there. Cap seems to have changed to unlimited (Go Large).

[edit]
For those interested in testing P2P speeds, this torrent has been consistantly fast for months, and so would be a good test. This was what I tested to get the above speed - it was a 30 minute average.

For those wondering what the torrent actually is - it's the Knoppix 5.0.1 DVD ISO.
