I would say ntl is.
take the following which I know is true but I wont reveal my source.
Ntl LINX ports gigabit size which reach saturation levels, this causes packet loss, latency problems and dropped throughput. Other isp's have contacted ntl regarding the problem as they have ntl customers complaining to them about poor performance but ntl dont respond. These ports are maintained by ntl so when they hit full utilisation it is expected to either get more or upgrade to 10gig size to allow for future traffic growth, instead it appears ntl are just hoping traffic levels drop dispite rising customer numbers.
These are the ports that carry traffic from ntl's network out to the internet so someone may have a low utilised ubr but then hits saturation via the port, this person would then be tempted to blame it on external factors since the loss starts late in the route and it doesnt affect everything on the internet.
Now I ask you will you verify this issue? if yes do you think ntl should upgrade their capacity with traffic utilisation or is it the responsibility of others? how can other isp's be responsible for ntl's peering capacity?
