Been having problems in the NG17 area of Nottinghamshire recently which are particularly bad tonight.

Every night my modem disconnects at least once and the cable light goes out for a few seconds then retrains and goes back to normal.

However tonight every time I tried to do anything like downloading something or even running a speed test the speed will go up to 4Mb for a second then connection will die for 20 secs then modem will disconnect and retrain.

I'm using a TJ210 on 4mb connection.

If I do need to upgrade is there anyway I can do it without spending half a day and a fortune on the phone to CS and then lose a days wages waiting for an engineer?
