The modem rebooted just after midnight by the looks of it, our connection string now shows:
cpc1-dove2-2-0-custxx.1-2.cable.virginmedia.com
To me it looks like they may have upgraded something. I will find out later if the speed still gets saturated. It's looking good at the moment though.
why the 1-2 in the string? it used to say cpc2-dove1-0-0-custxxx.asfd.cable.ntl.com
but at the moment we have internet and the ready light is blinking away on the modem :/
