I am getting the exact same problems, although today the connection didn't collapse until around 5pm.
My connections to both Giganews & Claranews (both run at 120k easily) drop to speeds that I would have been impressed with when I was on a 33.6 dial up but not when I am paying for 1mbit.
Website browsing and http/ftp downloads are fine and nothing is reported on the server status page or phone line.
This has only started happening in the last four days (Or at least that's when I noticed the problem).
You are in Notts, not far from there so I wonder if we are on the same UBR?
I am not sure which I am on, perhaps Stapleford but about 6 months ago I was moved to another so not sure now, is there an easy way to find out?
