Just had the engineer visit me 2 mins ago. He straight away said there are problems with the scunthorpe UBR router which they are investigating but as yet don't know what the full problem is. He said it was affecting 2 postcodes in scunthorpe but had escalated to the whole of scunthorpe recently. As of saturday morning it has been fine for me but he said the problem was still there in parts of scunthorpe so I must be one of the lucky ones to benefit from whatever jiggery pokery they have been trying. He put a gizmo on my cable and seemed to think there was no problem with signal levels etc or my pc. Shame these couldn't have been checked when the problem was actually there so I could totally rule out local cabling and/or my pc but it looks as though it is a scunthorpe ntl hardware problem. I told him its been going on since June and he said yeah they've known about it for a while.
