Fault maybe, however upgrades shouldn't be affecting anything. This is a statement that was often made by Telewest fanboys to be honest. 'My service is complete **** but it's ok it must be the upgrades'. These upgrades should either cut you off or leave you alone completely, there is no middle ground when dealing with the local networks.
Of course it could also be because the students are back and wanting to send the warez out again, Leicester is a bummer to deal with due to high student population and big network nodes that have made upgrades very expensive (needed loads of new fibre).
Also the 10Mbit upgrade doesn't have to affect pings at all, it depends on how things are organised. There is such a thing as traffic shaping to avoid messing up latency ya know.
