Yes, but in my case, small packets of data like this seem to make their way through with little or no problem. It's only sending larger amounts of data that cause a problem.
My ping tests kind of prove this. Pinging with 50 bytes results in little or no packet loss. But take that up to 2000 bytes and you're looking at 35% packet loss.
I know that larger amounts of data are actually sent as a series of smaller packets. So it's almost like some machine somewhere is misbehaving and not being able to keep track of whos sending what.
Very strange, and no-one at NTL seems to have any idea what is happening.
