Default What is the M4 like for rush hour traffic?

My missus is working in Marlow, I am looking at a job near Bath. If we lived somewhere in the middle (Newbury/Thatcham/Hungerford) would it be a real ball ache for us to both commute on the M4.

I've never used it at rush hour, just the occasional trip over to South Wales.

Are we talking 80mph average as per M40 or 40 mph as per M25. Is the east bound much worse than west bound?

Haven't used it too much at rush hour although a work colleague used to work in High Wycome and live in Swindon and it was okay for him.

This is a great site to monitor motorway traffic flow on and make your own mind up.
Also great for people who work in logistics.
