I'm connected through a 4000 box using Ethernet. I'm computer literate and have been on BB with NTL since they very 1st offered it about 2 years ago so I've gone through all the usual checks. I have had lots of problems since being on BB but it has been quite stable for the last few months and this is the first time I have had this type of problem. Like I have already said it usually only disconnects for a few seconds (which makes me think its part of NTL's planned upgrades etc.) but it has been doing it quite frequently over the last few days and it seems that nearly everytime I come back to my PC after a break it shows that it has been disconnected. Although like I said it can be only for a few seconds, this is enough to interfere with a download etc.

I'm quite prepared to leave it a few more days to see what happens before phoning the engineers just in case it is part of there plan and they just haven't bothered to mention it on the status page.
