Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone else had what I seem to be experiencing...

I used to be on NTL 1Mb and about two weeks ago got upgraded automatically to 2Mb. I'm on an NTL Home 100 modem.

I realised I had been upgraded when I turned on the modem and the Downstream light flashed constantly for a few minutes downloading the new firmware I presume.
It then eventually stops and Sync and Rdy light up and I can boot up my PC.

Now, if I turn off the modem and the following morning turn back on, it seems to redo the downstream thing. Before the upgrade it only used to take about 30 seconds for the modem to boot up.

There is no problems with the actual Internet as once the modem is ready I am surfing fine at about 1.8 to 1.9Mb.

Anyone know if this is a fault ?
