Ah good hint! Ping to the default gateway is also poor, I think - not entirely sure what it is, but found this in my route:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 80.2.68.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0
So I pinged 80.2.68.1:
rob@library:~$ ping 80.2.68.1

CM Log
Nothing untoward in the log apart from this - could be why there are no timestamps for anything:
Time Not Established Time Not Established Error (4) ToD request sent- No Response received
Time Not Established Time Not Established Information (7) The s/w filename specified in the config file is the same as ...
Time Not Established Time Not Established Information (7) A software upgrade filename was specified in the config file.
I know modems I've had in the past have known the time.
As you can see, the response times are all over the place. So, does this mean my UBR is oversubscribed? Something else? Is there any point calling Virgin? Thanks!
EDIT: I checked at my friend's in LS4, his latency is still bad (100ms or so) but not as bad as mine. Can't get any more data from his though.

More info: This might be promising. My hostname is now cpc2-seac20-2-0-cust87.7-2.cable.virginmedia.com. I used to be cpc2-leed15-0-0, and I am right in the middle of Leeds.
"seac" could mean "Seacroft", a suburb of Leeds nearly 7 miles from here. How are UBRs assigned?
