It's very intermittent, I've only noticed it happening for periods of 
15-30 mins every week or so, it's been going on for months, maybe 
longer. I only really noticed it when I started playing iRacing 
seriously and it really messes things up if your connection repeatedly 
drops - imagine racing close behind someone who then disappears for a 
second or so, then reappears not quite where you expected them to be :-O 
Also the software dumps you back to the pits if you disconnect for more 
than a few seconds, which is bad for your rating (complete disconnect or 
quit counts as finishing last).

I even tried my old Sky modem for a while and the same thing happened. 
Interestingly I got closer to a reported 4 mbit connection with the Sky 
modem, usually I get just under 3 mbit with the BT one. Thought I better 
switch it back to the BT one before calling them though...
