PP have had their rates squeezed and been paying late.

I think a lot of this is to do with the client. IMHO not the geatest telecoms company I've come across.

Been paying slightly slower since Christmas though I've noticed. Used to be days is now weeks.

Very true, used to invoice on last day of month before 9am, and then funds would clear same day via chaps about 4pm ish.
Now invoice last day of month and funds usually clear within 10 working days, which to be fair is still acceptable for me. Beleive they had certain credit lines pulled so had to change payment terms.
I always try and keep a very good relationship with the accounts payable teams, a thank you for prompt payment e-mail and the odd box of chocolates goes a long way with them

RE : Rates, PP tried to squeeze 20% off everyone a couple of months ago, most like me negotiated a middle ground for longer rolling term contracts. Those that didn't and dug there heels in, are now gone.........

Haha. Same here. Initially declined but then fairly soon after realised that they actually meant it! Middle ground achieved, longer contract and a job in an uncertain market. Can't grumble!
