Other than the almost constant (connection stays up anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes at a time) connection failures, I've noticed something else. Last week I upgraded to the 1Mb (1.5Mb now, I suppose) service and all was fine. After yesterday's connection nightmare, I checked the modem's status pages this morning and found that I've been put back to the 750Kb service! I then tried upgrading to 1.5Mb again but couldn't as the site said that I was already at that level. Hmm.

This suggests to me that NTL sees that my modem's speed is under what it should be (eg. not 1.5Mb), and so keeps rebooting it in order for it to get the new config file from the uBR. I'm guessing that if my modem was at 1.5Mb, then the reboots wouldn't be happening.

Just all guess work, really.
