I've asked Zen to regrade me from Home 1000 to DSL Max. I wonder what will
happen. Regrade scheduled for Tuesday. Lots of people seem to be having the
same issues as you. Good to know it worked out in the end.

Based on my experience with Eclipse over the last two weeks; you might well
get the following for the 10 days after the upgrade:

2 days of an almost unusable service - line dropping continuously and
intermittent speeds when it is up

I had almost 7 days of that.

2 days of intermittent line drops and low speed. Usable but hardly worth the
bother

Missed that bit altogether.

2 days of a 'stabilising' line with a full upload speed but slow downloads

Just a few hours at that.

3-4 days of stable service with a slowly improving line speed

I seem to be on one day at that.

Stick with it, it's worth it in the end :-)

Yes, it does seem that way now - it was so bad at one time though, that
it didn't look like it would ever get better.
