    8.2Mb is the sync rate, not your connection speed

    ... if you were on 1.7Mb before, then i'd imagine you'll still be actually getting this sort of speed now - since the speed is dependant on your line length, the hardware may affect the speed a little, but certainly not that much!

    Do a speed test, then tell us the results

    As previously stated, that is your sync speeds.

    Do a speed test here and post your result using the forum link.

    providing the modem isn't locked, or that it supports 8mb or more, you can use almost any modem with any broadband supplier

    Did you actually do a speed test as per post #4 above? Post a link to your test as I very much doubt that you are actually getting 7.5 Mbps after simply changing your router.
