I (in Castleton, Rochdale) have also been having slight problems with my connection. Not so much running slow, but if I go on a Q3 server (either empty or full - on 2 diff jolt servers on same IP), I find that every 45-50secs, I get a green line on the lagometer. I have put out a continual ping (ping ip -t) on command prompt and it mirrors the issue there.

I am at work at the moment so cannot provide numbers at the moment. We have been experiencing a small problem on a handful of channels (five is one of them) where we get a shadow effect on the picture. It's rare that it happens nowadays, used to be more common... keep meaning to call NTL, but since I first said "I'm gonna call em next time it happens so they can hopefully see any current issues", its happened less - usually when I'm out and I find out from my partner or the kids when I get home.

Could these 2 issues be related? Reason I ask is that the shadowing doesnt occur when I'm playing online.
Same thing happens on 2 diff PCs, both running XP Pro SP2, connected through a Samsung STB using a Linksys BEFW11S4 router. We have the 2Mb package.

(Reason I post here is because it could be related to speed issues in Rochdale)
