As soon as you join the rest of the known universe, all your connection problems will disappear.
Or, you could try specifying a proxy - just sometimes local network problems occur.

Specifying a proxy does not help in the slightest, ive tried all proxies and still the same problem, it seems it is indeed loosing connection somewhere in the Loops but not enough to knock the cable modem light out (i know i feel like knocking it lights out sometimes --LOL). FTP does not use proxy and thats been stopping as well
civilised you say, thats a funny word to use for ADSL
Actually living in this backwater does have some very good advantages you know - too many users on your UBR - lol not if you live in Scunthorpe it aint - not enough of us here to overload it
Generally over the last errm 5 years i think (give or take a year) its been fine on the whole - I keep telling them to take out that faulty switch/Ubr or whatever they have (string maybe?) and it will fix it you know...
Actually Just had a mad idea what it is, its Friday night right? NTL Engineers got a tad drunk and having a bit of a laugh unplugging then re-plugging the cable in saying such jolly things as "bet this annoys the punters mate --lol"
