Ihug Bliink / Mt Eden exchange ?

Hi,
Has anyone else in the Mt Eden area been experiencing speeds as though their connection has been rate limited on a full 2meg plan ?

We had Bliink 2meg installed about a month ago, and at first it was slightly fast (although definately not 2 Megabit), but as since dropped to about a 300kbit speed connection (as reported by Ihug.co.nz speed tests and NZDSL speed tests).

Have been through all the standard troubleshooting, including unplugging all phones, trying three different routers.
Tried G.lite aswell as G.dmt protocols, as I understand G.Lite handles line errors better.

Router(s) consistantly connect at 2.5mbit down, 160kbit up.
Line noise is in acceptable ranges.

We are definately not rate limited as I have had about four long phone calls with Ihug going through all the steps.

I would try my brothers Xtra login and password, but it doesnt seem to work from here.
Perhaps this line as marked as using UBS so a non-ubs ISP like Xtra wont work ?

Either way, I think its something to do with UBS or iUBS in this area, has anyone else experianced similar issues ?

Pings are fine, stable ~80-90ms to local servers. Its just the bandwidth that has the issue.
