This is probably going to sound wrong and not a great help, but personally, less than 100% service i would consider a fault, as in since the start i have had never than less, generally the problems being myself.

Though in heavy areas, I'd expect off peak no less than 95% and for the isp to compensate to about 85% on-peak. If the system can't hold that much, they shold change how the system works or not over-subscribe areas, which obviously in the world of business, is not going to happen.

On the topic, Do ntl actively refuse service in areas knowingly oversubscribed (not talking about saying no to properties not on their db)? Would policy be to get as many as possible and then warn/remove the heaviest users?
