Well as i said - CM Support says there is no problems in the area so the problem of course must be our pc's (lol) - if it was pure web pages then i could pon point the proxy but the fact my TS servers keeps going offline as does everything else and this log every now and then in the Cable Modem suggests the cable modem is loosing sync with NTL.

If the person was non-technical they woudl describe the problem as slow browsing and i at first blamed MSN as that has a habbit of doing this sort of thing anyhow every now and then.

A Normal Re-Seg makes my Lights go out and i get a new IP normally, i have eliminated the router and out of 4 pc's they cannot all have the same problem along with the fact i have changed nothing on the pc's anyhow.

I changed the router as i said "just in case" it was that and even plugged straight into a pc. I wonder - if they are scanning the IP's as this support guy said and got nothing back (as is the case of those of us with a router / firewall) then maybe it stops the service as this problem only started when they announced they were going to be scanning the IP's.
