I'm in manchester south, and recently i've been losing connection on and off for days.
Usually its early evening, but its been getting more frequent and at different times. I rang CS and a nice tech tested the connection, and he said it was ok. Sure enough a few moments, it was, then it went erratic again.
In fact Saturday last week, the 3meg was running at about 600k for about 2 hours.
I put it down to the upcoming 10meg work that will obviously be going on.
I just hope it improves before then.
