I was going to do a seperate thread on this to get more viewers but it would be merged so here it is.

So there is some proof of real peering problems for ntl, I am getting no response of them if they plan to upgrade their external peering to 8x their previous size to match the speed upgrades. Notice the ntl speedtest gave me almost 8mbit but any traffic leaving their network is drasticaly lower. Just finished a discussion on irc and most ntl peeps are unhappy their speeds are lower then before the upgrade noone managing above 3mbit.
