Its only certain area's that are overloaded, and NTL are doing something about it. Took them 5 weeks for my area, all is good now, and I even got a refund for the time it was pants.
I dont mind rants, its just rants that are made on thin air that waste space and give people wrong impressions.

Then you was lucky I used to have a good connection...
used is the word here. I contact them and get told there is nothing wrong. I use the chatroom and an NTL employee finds I do have problems he called it dunkeh syndrome as a member using that name had the same problem first and it took NTL ages to sort it out. The problem is the loss isn't all the time but when you seem to need it most. My son has now given up playing CS due to the irractic pings I get. On one forum with games I ping higher than some on NTLs 600K while I connected at 1mb.
If and until they admit that some are having severe problems they will offer nothing in return..
If I was just downloading all the time it perhaps isn't as noticeable...
I sat for 15 mins watching the downstream and it was up and down like a yoyo every few secs.
Downstream Receive Power Level : 0.3 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 33.4 dB
would jump to anything upto -0.3 dBmV and the SNR would jump around just as much and on another day it woud be more stable.
