I assume there no way to force it to drop the previous lease then?

AFAIK to change to a different IP you need to change NIC MAC.

Gets me a new IP every time.

A starview does not use the return path......

You said you pay for TV, so my question to you is does the on demand work on your subbed box or not???

Your stuck on upstream ranging as you either have no return path as i said before or you have a setting wrong on the modem

Sorry mate, I don't agree with you there in whole.

The thing is, forcing any config at all no matter what is just the same as forcing a 50 regardless.

However, people shouldn't be complaining if it isn't working for them.

Be grateful for whatever it is that you are getting if you aren't actually paying for it!!!

BTW I myself use 50 meg.

So you say all that and then go on to mention that you are forcing configs?

[newcastle1983]

the thing is tho 50 mb is just come out not many people will have subscribed to it anyway so therefore virgin will kno exactly where the speeds are comin from whos forcein the 50 theres no need for any1 to do it these modems arnt even capable and only do about 30 or summit so tryin to force the 50 gives it away abit and virmin will be lookin thinkin lets do summit about it already encrypted configs and bootin people off whats next no internet at alll

I don't think they'll manage to stop it . Its been going on years...
