Not sure if you're on the same node/affected area as us (BR3 Park Langley), but we've had our 100Mb service reduced to 2-3 Mb during peak hours (until about 11pm.) Noticed since August but apparently the fault was logged in July.

We managed to negotiate the £10 discount, plus another 6 months £3 off in compensation for the price rises. It doesn't really make up for an unusable service in the evening though.

Unfortunately for us, there's no alternative provider as BT have spent the last 8 years trying without success to get their local cabinet upgraded (or a new one built?) The original site as planned turned out to be unfeasible due to undocumented utilities/services in the area.

So the only option is to go back to 4-5Mb ADSL, which might actually be a better bet.

Right now the BT cabinet is showing as 3-4 months away, but I don't really believe it ...
