This 10mbit Upgrade seems a bit of a Failed Experiment to be honest, while it was great to be able to download something at super fast speeds, the constant changes in speed depending on what time of day you use the service is a bit bad. To explain further - I was on 10mbit until just a few days ago and grabbing some drivers etc from Variosu Sites (Dell, ASUS etc) as well as grabbing some bits and bobs from the News Servers (nothing big). Now the Speeds were very low - Indeed it was coming in @ 30KB/Sec. Now as it goes after 11pm the speeds shot up on everything bar the News Servers (NTL One.)

After my Downgrade to 2mbit - the drivers from the same site came in @ 236KB/sec and the news server were a constant 2mbit no matter what time of day I was using it. On top of this with the 10mbit service, there is that 75Gig month of course and downgrading when they get something in place to a slower speed. Maybe they preffer everybody to be on 2mbit instead and only have the 10mbit for marketing purposes?
