which proves the slow speed and high pings are to much trafic on the network and I doubt NTL can manage to upgrade all to 4mb and give a decent service.

Hmm, that's interesting. I've only really had the chance to test out my connection at peak times due to work, but pulled a sicky from work yesterday (naughty!) and noticed that the connection was working well despite still losing a few packets (1 in 100 which isn't bad at all) and an average ping of around 20! In the evening it dropped down to the same poor performance that I'm starting to get used to, dropping 20-30 packets in 100.
It's really annoying me, I only bought Battlefield 2 the other day and am only experiencing its brilliance in short stops and starts. There's nothing worse than flying a helicopter with a team in it, being disconnected for a few seconds and then waking up to have just flown into the side of a mountain!
Plllleeaassee NTL sort it out!
edit: Also from what I can tell, I seem to be losing the packets at Baguley in South Manc.
