Has VM upgrade a new speed increase on the 100 Meg ?, I use to have 94.25Mbps but now it went up to 105.42Mbps and also upload had gone up from 8.84Mbps to 9.50Mbps. Fastest ever!

speedtest isn't that reliable, especially at 100MB. I get a different reading everytime depending on server /time of day and other factors probably. It can be anywhere from 60-100 MB with uploads from 4-9. But I always get the speed on proper downloads if the server can do it.

Ha ha ha, You're in the top 2% of superfast broadband users.

Its due to the ASA stuff about having to have 90% of all customers on a particular tier average the quoted amount (in this case 100mbit) in order to advertise it as that speed, and not 'upto'. To ensure they don't break the rules, Virgin add a profile overhead of 10% - my 30mbit actually syncs at 33mbit.

Not really anything exciting to see here...
