Hallo, first post here so not quite sure on the etiquette.

Basically, had ntl broadband since it first rolled out, currently on 2mb with a surfboard 3100 which I've had since the dawn of time.
I'm in Glasgow and 2 weeks ago I started getting very bad packet loss to any Dutch website or game server I connected to. German, Swiss and UK servers are always fine.

I've never had this problem before.

Phoned NTL tech support and got an Indian operator which I was prepared for. After having to explain to him what packet loss was, there followed a long conversation with many holds to try and find the problem area. After about 45 mins, I came ot the conclusion I wasn't going to get anything sorted so just accepted what he said and hung up. I know it might not be an NTL fault, but Dutch people in my clan route through the same NL ips and have no problem.

Is anyone else having this problem, or have an idea on how I should go about getting it fixed?

Here's some pathpings to a Dutch website/Unreal Tournament Server, I get PL to varying degrees on EVERY Nl website/server I connect to:
