You beat me to it. Not sure what they did but I am guessing they shifted user's around and my ubr seems to be under higher load now. Last monday I was having good performance during early morning and the day in the week and during early morning at the weekend. Now its having contention issues during the day today, yesterday I aborted a download right after I started as it was barely topping 130kB so speed almost halved by congestion. Last sunday my speeds slowed down to around 200kB instead of 130. Are ntl playing a game where its harder to use traffic up thus making 10mbit more viable or has someone just cocked up. I am also going to email that senior tech again and I dont care if he dont like it but I got routing going over cogent to an isp that only has that line for backup, ntl for some reason with their weird routing table have decided that routing over a backup 100mbit 30ms cogent line is superior to a 1000mbit 15ms enta line, cost cutting getting rather stupid now.
I am also curious why the cableforum team are fine with helping with trivial matters such as billing issues, but when it comes to problems like this where the fix involves throwing money at it there is simply "no comment" has your contact told you not to bother him/her with these type of issues?
