howdies all,
recently my 600k connection has been really dodgy. Every so often (totally random) it will just cut out then connect back again, which in turn causes me to having to keep resetting zonealarm and has caused the computer to crash (which i believe is linked to the drop in net connection). On top of this, my internet connection (when it is working

) is pretty terrible. Obviously i do get a connection some times and downloads are fine (60-70kb/s) when using P2P's, but to get it to display a website or download from a website, i have to keep bouncing between ntl proxies (luton ones) to find one thats working and even then it may only last 10minute or so, then i will have to go through the proxy list again, finding another one.

However, i have got used to this, but the dropping in connection is taking the pee

So has anyone got any ideas to what it could be? I have thought it could be the router, but it has worked for the passed 2 years without a problem and its only within the last month or two that the dropping in connection has occured

Thanks to anyone that can help,
Dom

p.s - info that may help: the CM is a ntl:home 120 and the router is a Netgear Wireless MR314, and im situated just outside of bedford
