I wonder if anyone knows if the 4 Mb/s to 10 Mb/s upgrades have started in Croydon?

I have the NTL/Telewest business 10 Mb/s, fixed IP service. When it was installed in August I would reliably achieve around 9-9.8 Mb/s pretty much always. Now it's very variable - during the day I get around 6-7 Mb/s and in the evenings 2-6 Mb/s.

If the upgrades have started I am wondering if this is causing over-subscription on the UBR.

Power levels on my modem are a bit out of range, but have been that way since installation and therefore can perform well:-
