I opened a very stroppy case last night about how I was seeing 2Kb/s
downloads and things were so slow that I was barely able to open their
own web site to raise the ticket.

And then, out of curiosity, I hopped on to my router, disconnected and
reconnected the DSL, and tried the same download again. 300KB/s with
no detrimental effect on web browsing or network-dependent activity.

Bugger. One ticket sheepishly closed.

I'll be watching it with a very close eye from now on though.

I had big connectivity problems a few weeks ago. When I could get onto the Telewest status page, is seemed like the whole network was crashing down round their ears, judging by the number of major outages listed. So I reckoned that was what the problem was, and they'd already be on it, so I gave it a day or two, but it got worse, not better. Phone the helpline: no, I shouldn't be having problems. They sent a man round, who eventually discovered that one of the boxes down the street was full of water...
