This has been on-going for months. ntl have changed my connection in the street, saying that I was connected the the wrong point, but this has made no difference.

Any ideas ???? I'm starting to get desperate here.
Connection to the wrong point usually means that they have moved the cable up or down the tappings to get a better SNR and return power to your property.

if you look here you will find some diagnostics for this path

If you are using USB to connect to the modem or stb go ethernet

If you are using a firewall check here to ensure you have it set correct
