Then again, just noticed you are in Cheshire on STB. That cannot be changed so easily as you would need to provision each time.

No i am on a sacm.
I spent 3 years as a Engineer on Broadband in the North West covering training, Faults and new product testing.
Take a look at this. NTL are traffic shaping however i have not seen any kit or heard anything that would allow them to change you to 5 meg. Also there are no config files for 5 meg that i have seen. Constant speed on that download was 9.33 meg.
I know what kit they are using for the traffic shaping.
I know where its located.
I walked past it yesterday in my local site.
Its not been changed in any way since it was installed that i know of. To make a point here. I have no problems with p2p being shaped between 6.00pm and midnight. My newsgroup access is not being traffic shaped and i am sure others can back me up with that.
