well hubbys just phoned me as the engineer has just been and apparently he had to move us in the cabinet as we were being affected by the heat????

Haha that's hilarious

Re: Major connection issues! 6/6/06
 

My connection has been "off" more than "on" for the past 3 days!!! even the tv keeps going off now!!! It does seem to be a problem with a lot of people here at the mo:confused:

Re: Major connection issues! 6/6/06
 

My connection is back up to strength again now but I can't help wondering for how long.

looked at the modem and downstrean SNR has changed from 22db to 29db which reading the sticky at the top of the forum is what it should be.

Re: Major connection issues! 6/6/06
 

Hi all. I have had the same problems over the last few days in KT15.

I use my ntl cable modem with two computers (only one connected at any time), on one I use the USB connection and on the other I use the Ethernet. This has worked fine for months. Today everything is okay when using my USB connection, but I cannot get any response when using the Ethernet. This has never been a problem before this weekend, so I am wondering if this is related to the ongoing problems or if it must be a problem at my end? I don't know if it is even possible for one to work and not the other, but would appreciate any help or advice you can give me. Thanks.

More hilarious is that the engineer could easily be telling the truth, heat affects amplifier and laser performance and conductivity of cable and connections.

You have every right to feel like a bit of a tool if you are so inclined.

Maybe it can, just with the amount of sheer bull I've heard from employees over time it's easy to laugh when you hear such things.

Is it just me or is anyone else getting the same...

The last few days the cable modem has been switched off and on a few times by NTL, and yesterday I did a check. I had the 4Mb upgrade, so that explaines why the modem was switched off on on...

Tonight it started again, and when it settled down, I did a check and im back on 2Mb

Coventry... wating for modem to come back on before I click submit :mad:

Its back on, even worse

1st 128K took 625 ms = 209715 Bytes/sec = approx 1745 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 656 ms = 199805 Bytes/sec = approx 1662 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 812 ms = 161419 Bytes/sec = approx 1343 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 657 ms = 199501 Bytes/sec = approx 1660 kbits/sec

Re: Free downgrade
 

There's a perfectly good thread for this...

Re: Free downgrade
 

WTF? Now IM back on 2Mbps!?!?!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

And I dont care if there is another thread, what the hell is going on?!:mad:

Re: Free downgrade

You need a router, I remember when I switched from USB to Ethernet there were lots of problems, as NTL want to see the LAN MAC address or something, although I was told you could have 2 devices.

Re: [Merged] Major connection issues! 6/6/06
 

You must remember to reboot the modem in between using this method, you can knacker the ports constantly plugging/unplugging, the simplest way would be to get a cheap router.

Re: [Merged] Major connection issues! 6/6/06
 

I have had 4 disconnects today, hopefully it is a short term problem

Slow as hell this evening on the Wirral.
