I suspect it's already begun - a work colleague was downloading a Linux distro via uTorrent and found his connection would drop out right at the beginning and every so often after that. This only happened when using uTorrent.

Then a friend was downloading DS ROMs days later and found the same thing. Both are with Virgin :evil:
