Wow... glad I'm not the only one, actually.
I'm having exactly the symptoms JANoob described on page 3...
Quote:
1) slow / intermittent browsing
2) packet loss while gaming / high pings
3) slow internet generally, timeouts on websites, email accounts
4) sub-standard speed uploads and downloads.

In fact...they are so exact it's almost scary. Woo. Hm.
However, I am not in scunthorpe! *shock*
I'm in Oxford, and I've been having these problems for a few months now (I've been so damn busy, I havn't had chance to do anything about it).
I'm using an old Terayon TJ210, which my friend reckoned might be causing the problem (he was switched to an Ambit and stopped having similar problems, but I'm not sure whether it's the amazing fix he thinks it is)
Once again, the connection drops but all the normal lights stay on.
Here's some exciting DocsDiag information, just in case someone is interested...

Hrm. That's about it really.
If someone could help or advise or anything, it'd be greatly appreciated. My younger brother is a gamer and I'm sick of him whining at me
Cheers
