True Florence, the cable network was a lot better under Telewest & NTL. In the six years with Telewest I only ever had one major outage, which lasted a few weeks. I didn't even have to ask for compensation, as it was automatically given to me. Plus a few minor ones which lasted 1 or 2 days. Which you sort of didn't mind as UK tech support staff on `0845', told you what the problems where and gave an estimated fix times (which most of the time turned out to be true). On the whole Telewest provided me with an excellent internet connection and customer service. Which is more than what I can say for Virgin Media ATM.

I have noticed a trend happened tho. Come late afternoon, say around 4 o'clock my conection becomes even more erratic as regards latency and it stays like it until shortly after midnight. See attached charts. The 2nd one is a little later in the morning, but I was enjoying myself. It's not very offen I get a hour or so of goodish `fragtastic' network connection these days). Have any of you guys noticed the trend too?
