Pell,
the problem is not a slow link between Great Britain and Germany, 
(and not a matter of EBONE vs. IXI) but a overcrowded line inside Germany. 
If I want to reach Marburg from Stuttgart, it is even worse:

traceroute 137.248.1.1
traceroute to convex.HRZ.Uni-Marburg.DE (137.248.1.1) 30 hops max, 40byte packets
 1  cisco1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.1.10)  5 ms  27 ms  5 ms
 2  BelWue-GW.Uni-Stuttgart.DE. (129.69.8.110)  4 ms  4 ms  4 ms
 3  Stuttgart1.BelWue.DE (129.143.70.1)  5 ms  6 ms  8 ms
 4  cisco01.Uni-Marburg.DE (188.1.132.108)  8767 ms  9689 ms  12212 ms 
 5  convex.HRZ.Uni-Marburg.DE (137.248.1.1)  15145 ms  13537 ms  12514 ms

So the solution is to upgrade the slow intra german links from 9.6 and
64 KBit/sec to 2 MBit/sec which is done by some IP sites, but its really a 
matter of money (350 000 DM which is about 175 000 Ecu a year).
