Well - it's still lasting for me. 6437 just now at 7.35pm. Blimey - have BT pulled out a plug or something ????

I wish...I connect at 8Meg, but am throttled to 1Meg every evening. I am not a high user...and I am getting really [censored].

I know there isn't even any contention issue at the exchange, because if I connect via VPN to my company network...I immediately get downloads above 6Meg again!

feel lunky you get 1Mbit - that is atleast semi useable... 0.5Mbit here and I can't even stream video at all often during peak times without leaving it for half an hour to buffer and if I want to listen to a music stream I can't browse the web at the same time without it constantly cutting out to rebuffer...

I don't understand it - this evening at 2020 I am getting 6457. I was always choked like you then emailed asking for confirmation of my contractual status as I was thinking of leaving due to throttling and since then - no throttling!

I've done all the things every one else has done in terms of phoning India etc. etc. to no effect so why suddenly I should be OK I really don't know.

Most odd.............

Thats what always drove me nuts. Unreal isn't it, in this day an age you can't run 2 apps incase one sucks all the bandwidth because people have been limited.

The last time that happend to me was on the ISDN days. Which was 3 - 4 years ago.
