jumps to 70ms and 1 400ms jump you see as normal?, A friend of mine in another area near birmingham is also on ntl and he is never getting above 20ms on the first 4 hops.

this is very inconsistent nearly every ntl hop hasnt got steady figures, when uploading I notice it will be 30kb/sec then a pause for about 1-2 secs where it just stops and then it carries on but bringing the average speed right down, again this is a new problem within the last month or so.
