I think they are traffic shaping. When i was on 4mb i never had a problem. I upgraded to 10mb two days ago.

Now like downloading new game demos, etc. All is fine for a while, even in peak hours, but as soon as i reach a couple of gb downloaded my connection goes rubbish.

Tonight is another classic example! All fine and now look!
