87%? well i phoned them the other night and the guy said the upstream channel i was on was running at 94%, which just made me laugh.

the inconsistent ping times were varying between 100 and 1000ms (mainly around 200)

im in bristol too and it seems widespread across the city

he changed my upstream channel to one on 60% which was the lowest out of the 4 he had available for me (though 60% is still pretty high no?) - it's been a fair bit better since then but a few nights it's still been pretty bad

one of the telewest guys suggested they'd be able to send out a motorola modem so i could change the channel myself but it seems that's incredibly unlikely to happen. guess i'll just be phoning them up quite reguarly to switch channels...
