The upgrade actually costs �80 although you do receive a Netgear N router and a Netgear USB N dongle.

Down: 46.44 Mb/s
Up: 1.64 Mb/s
ISP Vigin Media
Connection Type: Wired
Router: Netgear WNR 2000

This site gives better speed test results.

I don't even have Channel 5 here, which I suppose could be considered a blessing in disguise.

�30 fucking activation and �50 for the installation of the new N modem and don't get me started about the fucking brain dead engineer. What ever happened to the self-install policy? I know when my other modem couldn't handle the 20mbs broadband I was sent an upgrade modem without an additional charge.
