So now I default to Level3 transit both for my up and down legs unless I manually change it.

EN admit this crap measure was taken due to Level3's cheaper prices.
Easynews have dropped 2 quality routes in favour of cheaper poor quality routing via Level3.net

Time to have a look at Giga's Euro Server methinks.

I wish it was as easy to dump the other half of this cheapskate routing conspiracy. Unfortunately for me ADSL is so heavily contended here that although I am only 900m from the exchange, last time I tried, from an up to 2meg connection I actually got 256k at the best, on a good day.
The customer is getting screwed again and I am thinking about leaving Easynews.
I wish I could replace Ntl as easily.

Is that put simply enough?

It is just intended to provide an explanation for the current poor speeds to Easynews.
