well, its still not better, infact last night worse, with the two people I was hosting for complaining of severe lag, and broken voice comms from me.

In the end, one of them hosted on a 512/256mb, and I saw how smooth Rainbow 6 SHOULD be in spectator mode.

My connection is fine for downloading and general surfing, but for gaming (one of my principle uses), it is a disaster.

I'm paying for a 1mb/256mb service which is far worse than a basic adsl service. NTL say they've know about the upstream problem since the 6th June and that is effect some customers, but they still haven't come back with a solution or fix date.

I pay NTL well over ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£600 a year and feel I deserve a better service than this. If this is not sorted out by the end of July then I'm moving to a decent ADSL provider.

Its not good enough NTL !
