It ain't a new thing, happened back in June, but was kept low key due to other less happy things happening around the same time

Upload speed: 382 kb/s
Ping tfl.gov.uk: 38ms
Ping scotcourts.gov.uk: 48ms
Ping nymag.com: 105ms
I've emailed my ISP and asked them to turn the Interleaving thingy off to improve latency.
However, I just looked at the stats on my router, and it says this:
Code:[FONT=Courier New]ADSL Link Downstream Upstream [/FONT] [FONT=Courier New]Connection Speed 7616 kbps 448 kbps[/FONT] [FONT=Courier New]Line Attenuation 27 db 8.5 db [/FONT] [FONT=Courier New]Noise Margin 8 db 20 db[/FONT]

Upload Speed = 1273kbp/s
Ping to www.tfl.gov.uk = 14ms
Ping to www.scotcourts.gov.uk = 92ms
Ping to www.nymag.com = 88ms
Being in Manchester I find it amusing I ping New York faster than Scotland.

As you identify, your noise margin could be higher. The lower the noise margin, the higher the bandwidth -as you are telling your line that it can use more of the singal. A higher noise margin, and you get less bandwidth but a more stable connection with better pings.
A more stable connection gives better pings because errors cause a packet to be resent. If there is an error with a packet, that packet needs to be sent again, which takes time.
You might be able to get your ISP to change your noise margine, or your could use a program called DMT (http://dmt.mhilfe.de/) to change your router's noise margin yourself.
I upped mine from about 6bd to 12bd when I turned interleaving off. This made my line much more stable, while reducing my downstream bandwidth by a couple of megs (but I stille have plenty to play with). The result is that my connection is very low latency and more than enough down and up bandwidth for my needs.
