Today is the day when our broadband connection resets to Full Speed as the 40GB is topped up again. Its 12:43AM and still on dialup. How long until speeds attain FS/FS. Does this take a few hours for the DSLAM or what ever hardware get's updated with the new speed settings.

Should happen within a couple of hours, but as stated, restarting your modem manually, should make it restart immediately.

it varies sometimes i havent got mine right until 10am and just last week i got it after midnite its about as reliable as their payments system that doesn't get checked until LATE afternoon (cough Cough)
resetting your modem does help 'sometimes'

I have noticed that the 14th is the last day not the first. I.e. Ours is the 8th but change over is not till the 9th. It messes up my usage meter as it says how many days left and it sits on 0 for 2 days
