Cogent has been fine here since the fix, good speeds and reliability.
I'd guess this is location dependent again, some routes seem to go through London, some Europe, both are fine here though currently.

NL routed stuff is rubbish though, NTL don't seem to have any kind of monitoring of peering at all, I've never known an ISP be so rubbish at something that should be one of their core strengths, both BT and AOL are fine currently everywhere I try, even at peak times.

NTL just seem to keep boosting speeds but not bothering about the basics to keep it all working...
