Well, things are getting worse. My cable modem has now been endlessly rebooting meaning I've effectively got a dead broadband connection. I'm now right back to where I was over a year ago when I had exactly the same hassle. It was "fixed" supposedly (thanks eventually to some on nthellworld.com), but now I'm back to square one
I'm on dial-up currently, and it's very slow, plus ntlworld.com is extremely slow (even for dial-up).
NTL: Whatever you did in Woking on the 26th, can you please UNDO IT!
I've had a perfect working system for over a year until that change

.
Well, I'd better ask my boss for a day off work then to sort it out. Just hope I can do that next week sometime, but it might be later.
