I used to work for them, and your probably experiencing network noise. This is normally worse when everyone comes home from work and switches electrical appliances on. Obviously on a night time, it all quietens down, and seems to work again fine. Usually the noise gets on to the network, due to poor connection and usually they are inside customers house
Only suggestion I got is to keep complaining and try to get a network (RF) engineer to visit around the normal time it slows down. They have a computer system called pathtrack, they can use to look at your nodes "noise floor" for the past 24 hours. Worth getting them to check that as well.
Another good test is to try FTP'ing and make sure you can upload / download to your webspace. At least this will prove TW RF network is performing as it should be.
You could also download and run ping plotter and this will help prove your case to them, if you ever get anyone to call around. That's not to say that someone hasn't already checked your connection for the roadside pit, and neglected to contact you.
Hope this helps Phill
PS And as I said Ex-Telewest employee so be nice here

I have had Telewest Broadband for 3 years & they have been spot on. If there has been an outage you phone the hotline & they are invariably on the case.
Now AOL, there are a bunch of t0ssers

Hi Daz 34
yea aol is **** ,but telewest has more outages than there is people in london every week ok there on the case staight away but these outages and slow running should not be happening in the first place , its called put in lots of cables and fibres ,servers etc and dont let to many people use it ,what telewest are doing is letting to many people sighn up and this causes traffic jams at peak times

I have the 1 meg service and have been downloading files for the last 27 days, 24 hours a day at a steady 980Kbps without a problem, been with them now for about 2 years and get an outage about once every couple of months.

Yes, you should complain about the ping times, but compare them to BY website, to make sure they are both poor. This will help to prove where the bottleneck is
Can I just say that TW IP / RF network is very very sophisticated and they don't simple add users ***** nilly. There is a capacity management department that constantly monitor and upgrade the IP network wherever and whenever it's needed. It's impressive stuff IMHO.
Thanks Phill
