I'm seeing some really strange behaviour on my NTL 750kbs BB in the MK45 area.
Downloads speed along fine for between 1-5 secs then stop for 30-60 before bursting along again for another few secs.
This happens on HTTP, FTP and newsgroups.
I've read on here that some US sites are unavailable due to a pipe fault, but this has been going on for a week or so now.
Web pages are not found, or connections are refused, but a few dozen refreshes and a cuppa normally sorts that out.... as in the pages eventually load :-(
Anybody else seen similar behaviour?
Here's some pings and trace routes to www.bbc.co.uk

Heres a speed test from Robin Walkers site which shows the problem quite nicely:-

1st 128K took 1469 ms = 89225 Bytes/sec = approx 742 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 68922 ms = 1902 Bytes/sec = approx 16 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 33437 ms = 3920 Bytes/sec = approx 33 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 1453 ms = 90208 Bytes/sec = approx 751 kbits/sec
I've tried all the usual things such as reboot the modem and router, disabled Norton firewall, I've even connected the modem (Terayon TJ210) via USB incase my router was hosed or been haxored (Linksys WRT54G)
Any ideas, suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
