*touch wood* So far, other then being put on the 1mb service for no apparent reason for a week, I've not had major issues with this speed increase. Certainly not been seeing >3Mb/s during peaks but when I have been playing online (mostly BF2

) at those times pings have been reasonable.
When they did the 3Mb (or was it the 1Mb

) I basicly couldn't play anything online for about 3 months during peak times (i.e. all the times that I wasn't at work or sleeping

) till they sorted the local upgrades.
Maybe they could block file sharing during peak hours, it's some what easier to download CD/DVDs while asleep then it is to play BF2.
