Hi. I am also a Blueyonder 10MB customer and like you was disappointed to see no apparent improvement in speed. I pursued this vigorously with Blueyonder (OK so I had some time). The outcome was this: you will not perceive extra speed but you will be able to run many more concurrent downloads. I tested this using their servers, downloading multiple instances of very large files. It is true to say that I could run many more concurrent downloads before the speed of download started to slow. However, my non-technical view is that this is a bit of marketing bulldyke. Double my bandwidth suggests really fast performance. There is little realworld benefit. Like you also, I think I would rather have an upgrade to the upload bandwidth. This would make video conferencing hum. Anyway, hope this makes you feel a little less swindled.
