BT Speed Upgrades

[Tesco]

Hi guys,

Anyone upgraded thier ADSL speeds?

I got my activation email yesterday but have noticed no speed increase at all. I have a 2mb line and upgraded to an (up to) 8mb line but the speeds have stayed at the 2mb speed. I take it my Efficient Networks 5861 router will be fine to handle the new speed increase. Im a bit confused as when I log onto the EN router website its giving this info. Can someone please shed some light. Many thanks.
