Anyone on 10mbit in the London area running slow?

Hey guys,

Anyone been experiencing problems today with your 10mbit? mine dropped to 2mbit, but currently I'm getting 570kb/sec instead of my usual 900+ - I dont know whether it has something to do with what happened in Hemel Hempstead today, my local ntl server is in "ware" but the main one I connect to is in Luton.

Just wondered if I was the only one experiencing this issue. I cant be arsed to phone the Tech Support and speak to people reading from a script....

Thanks
