Im getting a bit bored of this now. 10mb hey ??? I am currently downloading a 11mb file from microsoft at a whopping....wait for it......3kb/s. Dialup is faster than this crap.

I'm in stockport near manchester airport and I've just seen the speed drop dramatically. I was playing counter-strike when my ping went from 20 or so to 600 odd, I came off to try IE and I just downloaded a file (6MB) from download.com at 2.78K/Sec.

I'm supposed to be on 10Meg too :/

Im in leicester - same shyte here .
i was playing cod2 with a few m8's on our server ,3 of us are on NTL,one in sunderland and a lad in manchester and myself.
The 3 of us on NTL all suffered 500+ pings at the same time and became unplayable.
Looks like NTL is Shyte Nationwide :td: .

On the morning of Thursday the 19th of January between midnight and 6 AM,

Network optimisation will result in a loss of service in the Solent, Blackburn, Aldershot, Camberley, Farnbourgh, Fleet, Guildford, Woking, Stafford, Watford, Bolton, Peterborough, York, Cambridge, Darlington and surrounding areas.

Congestion is the problem here
