Got exactly the same problem here in Stoke.
During the day everything is fine, come 6pm ish and it all comes to a stop.
Getting about 2mb from my 10mb connection.

Read on other forums that other people in Stoke are having the same problem, typical NTL they say they dont have a problem.

Somethings happened because before VOD came live everything was fine.

Ive reported the problem, and emailed them twice regarding this but just got the standard reply, just firewall, anti virus etc etc.

Sent them another email telling them to stop reading from their computer screens and get a network engineer to look into this.

Ive suggested they are traffic shaping from 6pm - midnight..
Cant get this confirmed though, but something is happening for sure come 6pm, its like they flick a switch..

If thats not traffic shapping, i dont know what is!.
