I don't know whether you've used ADSL from BT this year? but their network has come on leaps and bounds since the days of the old colossus. Driven mainly by Infinity fibre rollouts, they're one of the least latencied connections going so far.
Anyhow, my issue with TalkTalk/Tiscali aren't limited to the quality of their network. That's only part of the issue with a service provider as i'm sure you're well aware (and M. Mouse appears to be as well!).
