I know there have been loads of threads about slow connection speeds, but I wondered if there was way to check whether a particular area was oversubscribed? (I mean, without having to call TS and wait for ages, then going through all the modem, ping tests, etc first).

UBR: 82-43-xxx-xx.cable.ubr28.newt.blueyonder.co.uk
Like mnay others, am getting exceptionally slow connection since upgrading to XL about 5 weeks ago, was fine for about 2 weeks then gradually went down to sub 4MB speeds all day & night (sometimes reaches about 8MB in the morning, between about 8am and 10am)
