Hmm I'm coming to the conclusion that either the contention is really high or they traffic shape to buggery. My torrents are 5-10kbs max till 12pm then they shoot upwards of 100kbs.

I am some way from the exchange which is which the line syncs at 1.6mb only so by my (ntl) expectations I should be hitting at least 180-200kbs. Even the old ntl 512k service was able to hit 70kbs reliably.

Also in the 24hours since getting online the netgear router has needed rebooting 10+ times. Had to move it to the kitchen so its right in the draft. A couple more days of this and they can stick it where the sun don't shine.

There is no way I would have sky anything over Virgin given the choice.
