Probably not relevant ... I know some early Demon broadband adopters had nightmares when BT upgraded their kit. Because "it wouldn't affect any subscribers" they did it without informing any ISPs, with the result that when customers complained the ISPs didn't have a clue.
If you were an early broadband adopter, I'd get the terminator in your exchange checked out, but it shouldn't be a problem. Note for non-brits - this upgrade is "free" because BT want to upgrade their kit, but it's a nightmare when things go wrong because they're not giving customers a choice. You go from a "guaranteed 512Mb" to a "8Mb at best" connection, and a lot of people have reported connection speeds falling. I'm lucky - living maybe 100yds from the exchange I think I get about 5.7Mb connection speed :-) And when things go wrong, if you're not a BT customer it's a nightmare because they won't talk to you and everything goes the Chinese-whispers route via your ISP ...

For a long time, we have had a 512k ADSL connection because it was all that was available at our location. Ten days ago we upgraded to an 8M connection. It has been a disaster and is currently running at an effective rate of about 300k with frequent disconnects (Sometimes every few seconds). Our telecomms supplier tells us that some degree of difficulty is normal in the first few days of a new connection as it goes through a period of "line training", however, what we are seeing is not to be expected. We had an engineer here this morning who has gone off scratching his head. If anything that might be applicable to you comes out of this, I'll post another reply.
