Pipex broadband

Don't recommend*

Up to 2mb service was OK to good, less so at night but still over a meg at peak times and a solid 220kb down in the mornings.

Since going to 'up' to 8mb it's been ridiculous; 180kb max at best, less than a meg some evenings and peer to peer connects but doesn't do anything during peak hours (works ok the rest of the time).
In short, upgrading to adsl2 has been a downgrade in reality and pipex are blaming BT for setting the maximum line speed at 180.
Er, how was it managing 220 beforehand then?
I'd like to change ISP but I know damn well Pipex will get the arse and make things as difficult as possible if I dare to request cancelling my contract :-(

Unimpressed, to put it lightly.
