I have noticed a slow down recently too.

My NTL 1 meg line was so bad I ditched it & had adsl installed. Too bad I didn't read the small print - I'm now stuck with a service that doesn't work (email) and is useless for the purpose I intended it for (gaming). Does anyone know a good contract lawyer??
