Do you know what they might be talking about m8?

Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable will be along in due course, but from other posts here, and assuming the Dublin setup is the same as here, I think the term is 'UBR congestion'. I stand to be corrected, but I think the 'UBR' (Universal Broadband Router?) is a card in the green cabinet which handles a certain number of subscribers. If there are too many active subscribers on a UBR, you get congestion, and NTL will, at some point, install another UBR and split the subscribers between them. It sounds like this is your problem, but I'm no expert!
