I've been told subject to tests, I should be upgraded within 7 days.  Zoom zoom zoom....


12 days later....

I've just sent them an e-mail to remind them I still exist.  Good to know BT are still as efficient as ever.

I think I've got it!  According to

http://specials.zdnet.co.uk/misc/band-test/speedtest50.html

Your line speed:

1236.4 Kbps

151.5 K bytes/sec

That seems to be faster than they promised so no doubt they will cut that back when they find out.   ;D

Long live BT.

Bet you didn't get that the next time clive  :D
Have you tried tweaking it to try and get a bit more out of it?
Try here:-

Follow the prompts. Afterwards you will probably have to download DR.TCP, again follow prompts.

It's fairly straightforward. Must be, I managed it AND it WORKED
