I am in the Cambridge area and I am also having connection problems, I notice the problems usually when gaming due to the packetloss I get. Shown below is a traceroute I did earlier today:
C:\Documents and Settings\Adam Armstrong>tracert www.ntlworld.com

Which doesn't seem to be too good, also I did a traffic report on my UBR using DOCSIS:

Note: timings include one hop on your up/downstream
and at least one on target up/downstream.
I dont know is this shows much really, but I dont think the upstreams should have over 200 users on.
This has been going on for about 5 weeks now, and all tech support say is wait till Tuesday next week cos thats when network rebalancing takes place. Hmmm 5 Tuesdays later and it looks like the balancing didnt balance :P
