Hi

Well I am a little disappointed because they said I should get 72mb down and 20mb up, but truth be told I don't think I would notice the difference, and I have only had the Infinity 2 for about 2 weeks, so it may settle down and I will get the speed they say,  before that I had 38mb down and 8mb up.

I play an online game, but I still die just as often as I used to when I had 4mb download speed  :)

May I ask what you pay per month for that sort of speed ?

I pay TalkTalk £21 a month for the essential package. Phone bill is always £0
Just run the speedtest again as we speak.

On the up, not bad for this time of night. 8.05pm by my watch.
Not sure the forum clock is correct.

I'm not a gamer, and the talkTalk package suits my fine.
Still impressive speed, but at that price, I'd want it  ;)

Thought I'd try updating my router software.
 
This is my speed before any update. This is via cable, not WiFi.


The software didn't update my router.
This is my speed 5mins later, via WiFi.


Guess I'll stay with the WiFi LOL  ;) And no software updates  :-X
