BT Vision uses QOS and effectivly uses the Homehub to split the bandwith between the vision box & the Homehub internet bandwith

I think BT throttle the bandwidth at peak times too which wont help  :(
BT don't actively shape traffic from ISP point of view.  Not even sure they could if they wanted to, as never seen the required equip at the home gateways I've seen.

Obviously, particularly for MaxDSL IP Stream based products (ISP irrelevant), exchange contention at peak times may be an issue.

Not true QoS, only half-baked attempt at QoS (similar to what I use here to keep OOF running as well as can be expected over a DSL line)

get a faster connection! Father tunnie can be downloading updates whilst i run my own downloads  ::)

At the same time i am shooting bad guys on xbox live
You're not using streamed TV at the same time.  Also, I'm guessing (as you live nearer to exchange than me), you'r sync rate should be around 7Mb (seeing as mine is 6.7Mb on my BT Line).

Which is what you should expect....latency should increase (indicated by the larger ping time) but, throughput should be the same.
