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  |
I am in Letchworth mate, and I know what your going through. I have exactly the same thing. My connection drops occasionally, and I get aweful ping at certain times of the day. I belive its due to oversubscribing the servers for Luton (which encompasses both of us).
I have had enough of ntl's bad connections and poor CS, so I am in the process of switching to another service (going to try ADSL this time).
