I have had similar experiences I am in the PE27 3 area of the country, there has been a trail to even attempt to use BB in the last 7 days. I am now at least back on the network although still unable to do anything with it.

I download a 5mb file, all looks good, full speed till past 1mb then the speed drops like a stone. I run a ping at the same time and just get request time out. The download then timesout and im unable to do anything from 1s to 20 minutes.

I believe in having my system up to date with patches and even trying the XP SP2 I dare not even risk, What will happen next is I am sure this will continue into the following week as faults do not fix anything over the weekend.
