Signal levels appear fine and its normally OK the rest of the week. I'm in Norwich on 10mb- Any point complaining, or is this now par for the course?

Hadn't seen that thread I'll admit.
NR3 here (Gertrude Road), and while there's always been a slight niggle on some nights, it's never been *this* bad :(

Can't afford a BT install..................

I know its not very helpfull but i've solved my problem. Ive left as of tuesday.
Cant believe how poor a fibre optic network can be, sky bb will be switched on on the 11th and whilst i only had an 11mb connection it was stable and gaming caused no problems.

Just for info if you need a bt line there are some broadband suppliers that will fit it for free, i know for a fact sky charge only £39

Good luck, i think you will need it
