Are you still having slowdowns? We resell O2's LLU product (To a greater or lesser extent) and have had quite mixed results. We have lines that are great, business grade and highly reliable and others (Including my own home circuit) that were appalling. Contention was a nightmare and speeds were at best pedestrian.

Those ones we have moved back to BT Wholesale circuits and have resolved all the problems. It's more expensive if you are a large bandwidth user (The break point for us is about 30Gb peak traffic a month) but the quality of service is there. We also don't use Daisy in any guise on our network, so haven't seen any of the problems that the OP had (We do get slowdowns at peak times due to exchange contention at some exchanges of cause, it's the nature of the product but BTW are pretty good at managing backhaul bandwidth these days).

Sorry this doesn't help your current situation much.

You say you want large peak time usage and huge off peak usage but no traffic management but still be able to happily game on the connection .. news flash ! not going to happen on IPstream .

Sorry but that's not true. Niche isp's such as Netplan do offer unlimited, unthrottled adsl1 connection (up to 8128/832 kbps) without charging an arm and a leg...when i was with them it was £30 + vat pm and their service is the dogs you-know-what. But their 12 month contract keeps the bandwidth rapists away

The providers are now saying there is an issue with the equipment at the exchange, so I am waiting to hear when they are going to sort that out. Funnily enough, the last couple of days it has been better, which only confuses the issue more,

Will wait and see what happens with this promised fix, and if I am still having problems then I guess I will try and replace all my equipment again (Router/leads) before either moving house <joke> or looking elsewhere for a different provider. It all seems a bit of a mystery to me - I don't really know (and I'm not confident they do either) what exactly is causing the problem - but I guess its a case of elimination one-by-one
