still ntlhm120_ntl0003.cpr for me

Re: ntl home:120 hanging from today
 

My ntl home 100 has just been downgraded to revision 2 firmware - although in the last 5 mins all network access (including 192.168.100.1) just stopped then started again - perhaps that was just at the point that it did downgrade.

Got an engineer booked for Saturday - hopefully I'll get a new modem anyway.

Re: ntl home:120 hanging from today
 

I now have the ntlhm120_ntl0002.cpr
I will see if this makes any difference :)

Re: ntl home:120 hanging from today
 

yippie back to ntlhm120_ntl0002.cpr

and now downloads back to 10meg and no disconnects.

Remember NTL - If it ain't broke don't fix it

cheers for all who have posted this problem and the good outcome

Hi
Modem= Home 120
Mac= 00.02.8a
Town= Basingstoke

the last week i have had troubles with my modem going down eracticly, also never had 10meg yet, even though NTL contacted us saying we had it.

Re: ntl home:120 hanging from today
 

DL: 1.25 mB/sec, deffo fixed now

Rebel - reboot your modem that'll fix your disconnects, as for not gettting 10meg thats another issue and not neccassry to do with NTL120 Home modems, as now my 120 is back to what it was before the update which looks to have just been rolled out again back to 002

Re: Update
 

Cool thnx for checking this out Mr Oven Chips

Re: ntl home:120 hanging from today
 

i just rebooted my modem and the firmware changed, to:
ntlhm120_ntl0001.cpr

errr, hehe. wtf - anywhere i can check the bandwidth? the board speed test shows:
Overall Average Speed = approx 4716 Kbps, 4.63 Mbps

:Yikes:

Re: ntl home:120 hanging from today
 

No, not similar symptoms. The exact same symptoms.

Re: ntl home:120 hanging from today
 

Can I ask any other members if there loss of service mainly happens when using bittorrent. I constantly lose connection whenever bittorrent activity increases i.e. a torrent with many seeds/peers. Is the Ambit 120 able to accept many connections at the one time. I have no problem with speeds while surfing or downloading with any other method. Downloading via IE gets me 1.25mb sec, zooms through downloads, via DC++ very high speeds also, but with torrents, as soon as the torrent picks up more connections the modem cuts out. Thats not to say speeds aren't great cos they can be, it just cant handle many connections. I've used torrents for ages and never had any problems while on NTL 2mb broadband. I don't think it's a coincidence that the connection cuts out while using this file sharing method. This happens with/without firewall, or all other obvious fixes.

Re: ntl home:120 hanging from today
 

The same symptoms doesn't really imply the same cause, however.

There's not a lot cable modems can really do. The symptoms of any problem are basically going to be one or more of: a) doesn't get a sync at all, b) loses sync after initially working ok, c) syncs, but doesn't pass data, d) syncs, passes data for a while, then stops, or d) just doesn't power on. But there can be a dozen or so causes, many of which will lead to the same symptoms.

The only thing that allows engineers to narrow down cause & effect are identifying the variables. This thread deals with symptoms that have arisen once one particular variable (the firmware) has changed.

Re: ntl home:120 hanging from today
 

just done a total shutdown & restart & started downloading but the same thing as befor is happening... :mad:

Re: ntl home:120 hanging from today
 

mine has gone back....fingers crossed

Re: ntl home:120 hanging from today
 

is it not possible and better for ntl to have stuck with v1 as standard and provided the v2 as a download link. Then people could choose to install it. Also everyone on the 1 and 2 meg tiers would have been completely unaffected by this.
