There is work going on though.

Re: Slow in...well a snail can go faster
 

Same in York, I'm using a Leeds proxy server and I'm getting speeds that are around 200 kbph.

I said this in a different forum but I think it bares repeating, I have 2 months left of free BB as compensation for the "appalling service" I have received (NTL's words) and then I'm leaving. I had this problem last week and before that too. No doubt it will happen again once they get this fixed.

Like many people, I've just given up the struggle with NTL now. I was given 3 months free BB but I don't want freebies, I want simple reliability. When the 2 remaining months are up, I'm gone, probably to Pipex.

Re: Slow in...well a snail can go faster
 

seems ok here.. ambit 120 4mb connection...

did have a little slowdown, but I put it down to the weather and my pc being old and flakey.

The bigger question is... whenever there's a problem.. we can always access this forum............................................. ........................? :D
