Monkeybreath also had a dig into my connection, and it seems there were 2 problems, i already had an engineers visit booked.
1: was a bad connection in the little brown box attached to the wall outside, the engineer said it had'nt been made to well, and was deteriorating a little.
2:i live in a small avenue, right on the end of the system, evidently boxes in the "middle" if you like, have a signal amplifier, my box does'nt and the signal at the box was low.
All i can say is the guy knew exactly what he was doing, he went about it very professionally, checking each bit in turn, and so far no cut offs, and the connection is certainly improved. I cannot say tho that all of us are going to have that same problem, but thanks to Monkeybreath for his time, and to the NTL guy for doing a good job.
