Just an FYI - on 10Mb here in SE London and friend on 1Mb also SE (clean setups) - both sites show continuous slow then normal service over last 4-5 days. Called BB support and it seems that this problem is related to the Telewest merger i.e. could be to do with network infra. consolidation. I asked the support person if she thought that it was to do with the merger and she said "How did you know that, sir?" - so they are being very coy about what is going on. When asked, she said that it was specifically to do with network changes and not just proxy cache servers etc. There are also problems in the Bromley area on top of that, which are also network specific - the proxy servers in Bromley are not the best anyway, so use other servers if possible.
