We shouldn't have to be altering MTU values anyway! Would Mr and Mrs Smith who bought broadband for their daughter be expected to know how to set MTU values, reconfigure network settings, how to diagnose packet loss or slow ping times to their UBR just to convince NTL their own network is at fault?

It does seem certain areas are affected and others not. I have a friend in Mansfield, the next town to me, who runs WinXP and he can send 2 attachments of 700kb each to me using NTL's mail but I can't Forward the same mail back to him with the same attachments, the mail server just chokes! Maybe they rotate the problems around different areas to hide the problem?
