RE: slow speeds as of 16th July
Just wondered, after browsing a few of the recent threads about slow web browsing and downloads recently. I thought it might be nice If you could post here your cable modem make,connection speed, your locality and if your service is Good/Bad.
Hopefully we may find a pattern, as long as it's not "everywhere is bad" :S

For me
Modem : Terrayon TJ210
Connection Speed :4Meg
Area : Humberside
Connection : Bad

Re: slow speeds as of 16th July
According to the service status page they are doing quite a bit of maintenance this week. Probably something to do with it.
