At the end of the day to take advantage of these speeds on my main machine I'll have to switch to 200Mbps powerline networking, the wireless only delivers 10Mbps throughput when its supposed to to be operating at 54Mbps so anymore won't be accessable andI can't run a cable into the cellar because of the tanking :/

I'm guessing that means Poplar.. so May for us hopefully

Yes that a Poplar UBR code, it looks like the ex-NThelL UBRs are getting done first, I thought you were Telewest there not NT-helL, no wonder Dym was saying you get rubbish speeds at times.

I think it's entirely dependent on area, in Stafford my connection's not been the greatest, had a few days of it not working, and quite a few days of it being sluggish.
While in Swansea haven't had a problem in so long I can't remember when it was. And speed has always been consistent.
Both ex-NTL UBRs.

The upgrade page says its for XL customers which is the 10mb line.

I'm on the 4mb line - anyone know if theres a planned upgrade for us slower speed customers?
