I noticed that as well last night. I can't see why swapping would cause the problem unless the swapping is happening because the proxies are overloaded??

@neoapple: I'd hold out on that - if I want to upgrade to a separate cable modem & STB, so I get the full 10M service, I expect to pay the £50 (though I still think it's a sh*tty idea & way too much cost). If NTL are saying they want to separate your ethernet from the STB, they should waive the cost & absorb it themselves.

PS: As in my previous post - what speedtest software are you using?
