    Don't get carried away just yet, I noticed my downloads speeds had increased last night, however later on when I tried another download they were back to normal.

    You might have to cycle the power on the cable modem in order to get the new speeds.

    Translation: "cycle the power" = "turn off, count to 30, turn on"

    yep

    i'm on the max package for the 3 month trial, and it has been bumped up alright. Must admit that there really isn't much noticable difference in speeds, i guess you can only download as quickly as the 'servers' on the other end allow, and its making shag all difference to before.

    1 or 2mg I think is enough for the moment, not going to waste my money on the 3mgs!
