You've got your free upgrade then.
Just like everyone else seems to get, apart from people on Nildram's 512k standard service. *grumbles*

yeah
but it was supposed to only upgrade to 1mbps.

Well, I'd do a proper speed test if I were you
adslguide.org is good one.

Downstream: 1890 Kbps (236.3 KB/sec) 2041 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream: 245 Kbps (30.6 KB/sec) 264 Kbps (inc. overheads)

edit: i get the feeling that if i disconnect it'll go down to 1 mbps.

Looks like you have got proper 2mb then
just be careful they haven't introduced a download limit onto your account as well.

but i don't think they'd do that to me.

I got a free upgrade like that.

BT upgraded mine without telling me
I rang them up to complain that I wasn't going to pay for it 'cos I didn't order it and they said it was a free upgrade.

Looks like your fellas have got the same idea!

BT are twiddling with some wires at bt exchanges to maximise
connection speeds, so most people in the next month or so will notice a speed increase.

Arse. I was on 312kb/s (?) with NTL.
I got a free upgrade to 1mb/s, but I want more.

MORE!

Go here
homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.walker/

and click 'Cable Modem Simple Speed Test'

I find it to be very accurate.
