Luton Disconnections today - just me?

[GuestUK]

Hello,

Mainly posting this as today has been a day I've really needed to use the internet, yet for me it has been up and down all day, and it's really starting to drive me mad.

I was just wondering whether anyone else luton-based (I'm not in luton - nearer bedford, but I have a luton-based IP) was having any troubles today.

I tend to enjoy IRC quite a bit and hence leave it running, and it is a fairly good indication of when my connection goes down. Here is a quote from my connection log for today:

[01:45] * Disconnected
[01:50] * Rejoined channel
[15:05] * Disconnected
[15:10] * Rejoined channel
[12:20] * Disconnected
[12:29] * Rejoined channel
[14:44] * Disconnected
[14:48] * Rejoined channel
[17:25] * Disconnected
[17:30] * Rejoined channel
[17:41] * Disconnected
[17:46] * Rejoined channel
[17:47] * Disconnected
[17:51] * Rejoined channel
[18:01] * Disconnected
[18:07] * Rejoined channel

As you can see, it's been a bit of a turbulent day . Is it just me, is there something wrong with my connection, or is anyone else having these problems?

Thanks a lot

Ive had random drop outs and variable speeds for the past 2 weeks, although it seems to be ok now.

I think mine was possibly due to some unnooticed spyware actualy.

My connection is fine in LU4 and pings to the BBC are fine :
