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
Hi there.
You have an NTL 120.....do you lose the sync and/or rdy lights when you lose the connection ?
How do you retrieve the situation ?
Are you connected via ethernet cable (RJ45) or USB ?
