Think we have a few different problems here, the Scunthorpe One - to my Knowledge was thus, although the connection on the modem stayed on, it actually was disconnecting as it were somewhere down the line (NTL End) and thus if you happen to browse a web page at that second, page not found (so you refresh and it works evetnually). If you were say downloading a file, it Physically looses the connection for a brief second, thus downloads fail randomy. The same with Games, MSn etc, as it is loosing connection, then you Lag out, get kicked and so forth...

Now we in little old Scunthorpe had this problem before the 1.5mbit upgrades (and other speeds of course) and problem was sorted. I have not had any single problems since reporting both on here and on the phone - unlike some people who posted, i never got reverted for exmaple to 750/1mbit etc, so maybe this was a different problem from the one reported..

Since my last post ivs not had any more problems as such so unless somebody says different, i presume NTL Fixed the UBR Loss in the Sunthorpe Area...
