I dont know but it seems as though they have looked at the competition and are being told to deliver the same. Bad move as far as I can see. Pipex are giving me 2 meg with no problem but they never promised it.

Interesting distiction there when they agree a one meg connection and you get 2 you think "Oh Thanks". Promise ten and degrade the whole network and nobody is happy.
Well whats baffling here and with IanUK's EV1 case I was originally wrong and NTL decide on their outbound route. EV1 and staminus both have different providers, abovenet is very good to staminus, was less hops and much lower latency. nrs which kicked in the last 4-6 weeks was lower standard but still only 40ms over abovenet and useable, so ntl not only are using a congested link but are also preferencing it over non congested routes.
