Things have been bad here in Stockport for over a week with Saturday being particularly bad. Sunday was even worse, I gave up Sunday evening.
This evening I have spent almost 3 hours trying the access the web.
With no settings in IE no web access at all.
Try a random MAN cache I might connect for about 2 minutes then no connection.
I have even tried 2 INKTOMI proxies suggested on Saturday evening without any joy.
Last evening I even lost lost the default gateway twice.
This evening I've had to reboot the STB twice to get any connection (renew didn't work), been through at least 12 proxies and ended up on a Middlesbrough which seems to be working OK, touch wood.
I thought things had been going well for too long for it to last
