Intermittent Loss of Internet

Hi,

Anyone else suffering loss of internet intermittently (I am in Kingston upon Thames)? For the last few weeks my modem and STB have not been aquiring (it's an on and off problem) a DHCP address which some how suddenly resolves itself for a day/half a day then drop off again.

I have called support but they are less than helpful and there seem to be no reported problems in the KT area.

It has obviously affected my internet connection but I have also noticed that I am being dropped out of Xbox Live games which never happened before in X years of using VM/NTL/TW.....

Now, only possibly reasons for this I can think of is that there has been work in the area which is effecting my connection and they don't know about it *or* my MAC / IP address is being hijacked either deliberately or by accident.

Anyone else having problems? I wonder if I should just call up and get a new modem and MAC?

Thanks

Cable Guy
