I think it might be cpu satuartion rather then upstream saturation as ntl seem to know about upstream problems more rather then cpu and downstream problems, have you tried cycling your modem to get it on a new upstream channel?
Yeah the connection is usually fine when pings are steady... Which unfortunately isn't too often.

It's 1:30am (I'm at work on nights, not sad!) and I was just seeing 5% packet loss to my gateway! The connection is just sat idle.

I've tried power cycling the modem loads of times, even leaving it off over night.. it always seems to home back in on the same upstream (6, at the moment.. U/S power level 46dB)
