Had a speed test result in the 20Mbs range last week but I have returned from 2 days away with my home ethernet switched off (router remained connected) and got a speed test result of over 50 Mbs.when I tested tonight. I am bound to wonder if someone was monitoring these posts at Vodaphone and decided to do something about the possible bad publicity. Long may the new rare continue!

One thing I noticed at the beginning and I don't know if you've tried it but using the VF dns servers slowed everything down to a proper crawl, particularly at peak times (Friday and Saturday evenings were the pits). I'd read somewhere (cant' remember can't quote) that using other public dns servers would improve thigs, which it did a bit -not greatly but a gain nontheless. I use 9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1 now. Had to change back to defaults to update the firmware on the vox3 (when I tried it).

Thank you. I will have to check which DNS servers I am currently using.

Well the news is good++.
Engineer turned up at 1pm. I'm now online with my netgear router, snappy page loads and a massive grin.
After reading the horror stories all over I was really getting doubtful about all this but that was totally unfounded. 109 Mbit down/ 19.3 Mbit up straight off the bat.
I'll have to let it settle to make sure my router is okay - a couple of posts on th VF forum mentioned their PPPoE login getting changed after a couple of weeks. Time will tell. Pensively happy bunny.
