Its strange, most sites I visit (Fileplanet,Easynews & 99% of all homepages with games files/vids etc) only give about 140-180k at most through the Poplar Proxies, switching to either Colchester or Hersham gives full 370k speed IN EVERY CASE, this seems to indicate that the Poplar Proxies are misconfigured in some way, or speed capped.

Those of us routed through Poplar are getting a raw deal if we are on the 3 meg package, as most sites will only give sub 2 meg speeds default.

Perhaps a techy from NTL could look into this please ?

Cheers
