Gotcha, nodes too big.

This should eliviate some of the congestion which is the problem at the moment.

Well (unless they are still working on it now), whatever they did in Poole last night has done nothing to solve my problem :(

In fact, I would say that if anything, it's got slightly worse (when I first switched the modem back on this morning, it couldn't even get an IP address).

Does anyone know when Poole should next expect some maintenance, and more specifically when UBR 3 is being fixed/upgraded? The problem in my area with low SNR has been going on since the beginning of May.

Thanks,

Steve.

I'm pulling my hair out as well m8. I'm in BH12 and am seriously thinking of going to ADSL. Apparently our problems have been ongoing since Nov 03 although I've only been having major problems in the last month. When I first got NTL broadband a couple of years ago I did have a few teething problems while we were still on the Cosham Proxy. Since we changed to Poole 1 all was fine until a month ago.

Have a look if you like...
