My 512k Pipex service delivered downloads of 61k/s and upload of 30k/s 24x7x365, have had some email and DNS issues with them, which seem to be resolved now. News service on Pipex, text only is good, binary is very up and down. Reliability wise some issues there as well, appear to be resolved now.

1Mbit service delivers 120 - 122k/s downloads.

Pings are slightly higher than ntl, downloads slightly slower than they were on 1Mbit ntl, and browsing isn't as quick as on ntl, with graphics heavy pages there's quite a noticeable distance between their page loadings due to the lack of the burst that cable gives. That's the view from someone who's had both services.
