Firstly :welcome:

Can you give us some more details.

What Modem do you have and how are you connecting USB or Ethernet and what are the status of the lights doing on the Modem when you lose the connection.

:D

:welcome: staple to the forums.

Where in Manchester as I have had no problems tonight.

do a tracert to ntlworld.com
This is mine from tameside area.

this might help us to pinpoint which UBRs you are on.
Or PM your mac addy to BBKing he has a great tool that will check whats happening

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

Yeah, drop me a note with that - can take a look.

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

Staple go to

start then click on run select if you use windows 2000 cmd or XP if I remember right has to use command
A dos window will open type tracert www.ntlworld.com then click enter

this will then do the tracert when its completed highlight it all and in the top left corner of the window click and select copy then right click the reply box on this thread and select paste

Hope that helps.. :)
