Well, it's now 12:42 and the upload is still working, but it's more sporadic now (lot's more people using the bandwidth?). Some pauses of 10+ seconds while uploading a 5mb file to my Yahoo briefcase adding about another minute onto the upload time over the time it took early this morning and one upload just stopped and never completed, my briefcase was empty.

Test ftp upload of the same 5mb file to my NTL homepage was far worse, hell of a lot of pauses making the file stop at 62% and cause Error: 451, deleting the file and trying again produced a similar result stopping at 26% this time, Error: 451 again. I know NTL have 'resume' enabled and I could have just started where it failed, but this shouldn't be needed within NTL's own network. Same thing trying a 1mb file! The fact I couldn't upload the file in one go indicates a dysmal failure of NTL's ftp upload!

Looks like some piece of hardware is being overloaded during the day or if they just reset the router or whatever, it still needs tweaking?

Things are definitely moving in the right direction, although the pessimist in me thinks this may be as good as it gets!

Ashover, are things any better for you and THE RIFLE?
