Hello guys,

I'm not entirely sure whether I'm going to contribute anything to the discussion as far as a resolution is concerned, but I thought I should throw my experience of the current NTL slowdown in the knowledge pool for communal consumption.

I live in Brighton (all is well here on the NTL front) but my brother lives in Luton, Stopsley more specifically, and has been experiencing issues of very similar sounding nature to the ones detailed earlier in this thread. Changing the proxy server seems to have sorted out his browsing speeds, however, he is still experiencing slow down and packet loss through MSN and a verbal communication program called Team Speak. He's also an avid internet gaming fan but reports no slow down in performance during his games.

I’ve advised him to ring up and “report a slow speeds / intermittent connection issue and ask them to check out the flap list for your modem” which he assures me he will do tomorrow.

I’ll keep you posted on how things play out!
