Ordered - Early August
Connected - supposed to be 29/8, then middle of last week, then promised twice 7/9, finally & very surprisingly able to log on this morning.

Speed - currently d/l a file at around 550kbps & a speed test gave a result of 5543kbps which is about the same as my Zen connection.

Seem to be having a small problem with disconnects on my wireless connection on my laptop, but I imagine that is teething problems

Done a few tests with p2p & torrents, both of which seem fine.

Happy, despite a monumental hangover & depression of the derby result in the football yesterday

Order Date......................... August 28th I think

Migration

Router Arrived .......................... September 12th
Connection Due ........................ No idea, my Pipex and Sky were both active on the line when the router arrived !
Actually Connected.................... Septmber 12th !
Up sync speed .......................... 448

My sync speeds will drop, i think to around 1984 as it trains over the next few days.
