Agree with IanUK and welcome back havent seen you for a while.

With NTL my experience was heavy congestion, some packet loss, horrible browsing due to proxies yet a very good local connection to ubr ie. it never dropped and was 10meg.

With adsl its almost the opposite, rarely congestion if any, stable pings, fast browsing but the line is unstable in that it loses synch and occasionally has too many errors causing packet loss.

If only we had the cable local loop infrastructure with BTs core network now that would be nice.
