To say I'm pee'd off after the week I've had with NTL (3 faults in this area over 3 days) a total failure to install my modem correctly and now this - utter crap

If you are in the Romford Area and getting sub 56k dial up modem speeds its because the UBR is full, the guy said it would be escalated to support but it may take a while to fix.

great....
ROFLMAO my **** will you go from 5Mbit to 64kbit immediately due to congestion

Try again tech support, this sounds more like the area faults that have shagged your service completely are continuing to degrade it.

Bet there's loads of packet loss and inbetween the loss fairly low pings too
