Anyone living in the Docklands?

I live in the Docklands, Limehouse area, and our Internet with Eclipse ADSL is simply horrid. During the day, our speed sometimes goes down to 350kbps, and maxes out at about 1.3Mbps according to www.speedtest.net using the London Namesco server. At 4AM to 6AM however, the speedtest.net shows download speeds of a blazing 6.5MBps.
I believe this is due to Eclipse being heavily oversubscribed in our area as our line shows 6.5MBps ability.

Is anyone else living in the Docklands area? Which provider are you using and what speeds have you tested your DL's at?
Cheers!

Nope.......but my wee girl was so adamant that i took her for a walk through the tunnel to Island Gardens the other day,on our way to Canning Town and it turned into one long ole way for a shortcut,trying to get to the DHL place at Cody Road

Anyway,i`m just over the water on the Lewisham UBR although although i`m actually just over at Kidbrooke and our 20Mb with VM has been just great this last few months.
No comment on the previous months/year but it`s been worth the patience overall,in more ways than one 0f course

I hear the service is crap back home in Edinburgh so i`m staying here

LOL! You live within half a mile of Telehouse / GlobalSwitch and they still can't get it right!
