O2 - touting new "faster" router, 20mbps

[Pug]

Was just speaking to customer services about my phone, and saw they were offering upto 20mb BBand now (was only 16 when i took my account out 14 months ago). I currently connect aroun 7mbps.

So i enquired if i could get my line speed increased and she tried to sell me a router. I said i thought i was limited by my line speed but she seemed to think this new router could get me aster speeds, offered on a "free" trial without extension to my contract.

I didnt bother yet, as i wanted to look into it, but but has anyone got one of these new wonder routers, know anything about them, or had any experiences with them?

Previously i had an O2 router box III or some such, and it was a thomson box which was totally useless. I sacked it off and bought my own.

Anyone have any info?

Thanks worth remembering that those numbers are with a non-official router (if that makes a difference).

Downstream numbers first, Upstream numbers in brackets:

SNR Margin: 4.0 (6.2) db
Line Attentuation: 43.8 (21) db
Data Rate: 9795 (1077) kbps
Max Rate: 11952 (1080) kbps
Power: 19.0(11.3) dbm
