An update here.

I have noticed some weird goigns on over the past week or so, peak time performance up etc.

What seems to be going on is it slows down as normal late afternoon and between 5pm and 6pm its very bad, lag spikes in ssh, slow speeds etc. Then at 6pm speeds shoot up (download on ftp went from 70kB/sec to 820kB/sec) and the lag in ssh dissapears, browsing is also more responsive.

So I have a theory shaping is on here it fits in with the 6-12pm times been mentioned as well. If it is shaping ntl appear to have made a good job of it, what I use my connection for benefits from it.
