First time poster and just want to say Hi and thanks for all the information you guys have given me over the past few months/years that I've been a member on here. I have finally come to the decision that I need to post my problems. Over the past few months I've had connection problems with my broadband and countless calls to Customer services and Technical support. It all originally started in November of last year when my connection kept going up and down and NTL insisting that there wasn't a problem at all/problem in ytour area and has been fixed etc etc etc. I finally got them to send a engineer round Mid Dec who came and stuck a filter on the end of my Coax which did nothing to fix the problem so Re-booked another engineer to come round and have another look (didn't bother turning up) another re-book and got him to come round when I was at home and change the modem over (originally and Ambit 120) now running a 250. That seemed to have sorted the problem out for the past month or so but now its back and worse than ever. Again contacted Technical and now they are blaming my P.C. Running a Stand alone modem on Ethernet and the problems range from low download speeds to no connection and my signal levels going up and down like a whores knickers. I'm at my wits end and about to throw the towel in and cancel. Could any one look at the images I've uploaded and see if they can advise me as to what the problem is. Personally I think my local network is over subscribed and they won't admit it. PS on 4 meg connection

Thanks in advance
