Hi - My first post, so here goes!

2MB BB, 3 TV STBs.

Have recently had 3rd STB installed, which has been faulty (choppy picture), so had NTL come out to replace it today. Thats all fine now. Yesterday, internet started going at about 10KbitSec, fluctuating between that and full speed (would stick at 10 KBPS for about half an hour, then go to full speed for 10 mins roughly). Asked NTL engineer blokey about it today, and he said it would etiher work, or not. And it might as well not be. All in all, he couldnt be bothered to look at it for me.

Any ideas what it could be? All connections ok, tried through router on several PCs, and direct PC <-ethernet->modem.
