Since the upgrade I have been thinking of down grading to the 2mb, I hardly ever get over 250, I have maxed my connection a few times downloading small files from 10mb to 20mb, but every were else it appears going over that constant 200kb/s is not easy.

Which is not a NTL problem, it depends on the server your downloading from, and the difference in price from the 2mb to 3mb is a big chunk every month, I think its not worth the extra £13 a month, Just to say to my m8's "I have 3mb BB"
