OK,

After 4 years of nigh on perfect service (apart from when that bufoon updated the services and took the whole of the UK out a few years ago) - we downgraded our package from VIP to what is now XL I think.

Not that these are linked, but about about 2 weeks ago into our new "downgraded" package we started to get a flashing light on the V+ Box indicating loss of IP address and therefore internet. Now this has been going on for, I would say, 3 months or so - sometimes works all day, sometimes not.

Recently (last few weeks) we have found our V+ box would just, without warning, reboot itself and when it comes back on it would actually get an IP address and then suddenly drop off again....odd you say. off indeed.

Engineer called out and he arrives and says loss of signal strength is causing the box to reboot...erm...OK - methinks not (I dont believe it but hey ho). He did say even outside the signal strength is bollox and is coming back tomorrow to look at it all.

Anyone else suffered from a mysterious flashing light recently?

Cheers
