Davemck,

What model of cable modem do you have, it should say on the sticker underneath.

Re: Bittorrent & Disconnections - Ambit modems
 

the modem is an home 100

Re: Bittorrent & Disconnections - Ambit modems
 

I thought it would probably be a 100 or 120 as these seem to be the ones prone to the rebooting problem.

Re: Bittorrent & Disconnections - Ambit modems
 

My disconnections occur with my 120 and my 250 modem.

Hey guys - after switching my car insurance to Ethernet... I mean modem... the issues stopped happening, maybe this will be of some help to some of you guys! ;)

Re: Bittorrent & Disconnections - Ambit modems
 

Mine has always been on Ethernet. I suspect there are many problems here, we appear to have similar symptoms, but the root causes are clearly all different.
I've giben up with BT on the PC, as my MAC can do it without the modem crapping out.

Hi, I've been in contact with a chap that works for NTL. I provided him with my MAC address and cable modem stats and he said the following:

I have sent an apology to the person concerned, it was stupid of me to post comments from my PM with him and I'll make sure in the future I always get permission first.

Sorry!

:doh:

Re: Bittorrent & Disconnections - Ambit modems
 

Same problem here :( its really annoyin ****ing me off! To get this new modem wat do i have to do? and does it cost? Atm i have the First version of the Cable Modem, little grey box lol!

Re: Bittorrent & Disconnections - Ambit modems
 

I've had the exact same problems during the last week and a bit. Last night I tried leaving my modem completely disconnected, and this morning everything seems to be working OK like it should be. No idea if it'll last, but you lot might want to try this if you're desperate enough like me.

Re: Bittorrent & Disconnections - Ambit modems
 

My connection's been fine all day since I left my modem entirely disconnected over night. I've been able to reliably browse etc whilst uploading and downloading via FTP, Bit Torrent and WASTE.

Re: Bittorrent & Disconnections - Ambit modems
 

My silver 100 replaced with new blue 250 today - cured my reboot/disconnect/hangup/lockup problems. Today's engineer said that the 100's are just not up to the 10mbit service - might support the speed, but they are not happy with ntl's current firmware image.

Re: Bittorrent & Disconnections - Ambit modems
 

Another case of how a new Ammy 250 corrects problems shown by an Ammy 100.
