Lol thanks for your replies everyone, it's a little 'late' for me as i've been up all night busy with things so i wont rant
too much 
In reply to
bigsinky sadly yea VM are totally covered for it else i'd be all over the like a fly on **** right now, lolz... but thats biz i guess, just a shame.
AmAtoL that's totally right mate

hopefully we can get this sorted out soon, fingers crossed and i'll update ANYTHIN' i learn on the subject reguardin' my area incase it might relate to you.
Hiya

thanks for your reply, that's one of the first things i've tried and continued to test.. in early hours, seein' as i'm usually up most of the night it hasn't been a prob to run tests durin' really late hours..
although i'm 100% sure it's totally oversubscribed
it's deffo somethin' else too, i can't believe they get away with such a disgustingly
over subbed service though, yanno? sucks
... DOSCIS 3 kit is gonna be nice although i'm sure very unstable for a long while after its release, if they give us a free upgrade + new setup for that i'm literally gonna fall out my chair, down the stairs.. and hug the VM service installer for that one
Oh and hell yes, come june 1st expect atleast one poor sod in CS to be tied up with me for a good few weeks lol
Cheers all for your input, gonna get me head down for the night
