This has been bothering me for the last week or so starting off as a little niggle and as of today has finally turned my 50mb connection from Heaven to being completely unusable.

I suddenly lose connection with no explanation (Ready light is on, Up and down are still flashing etc.) I reset the Modem and it connects again for about 8-10 seconds before doing exactly the same again. So to sum it up, I can use the Internet if I reset the modem every 8 seconds.

Virgin have told me all is well and there is not an issue. I've already phoned them about a dodgy signal level and they just said they would try resolve it when they come to install other services, So I'm looking at the possibility of a dead connection + superhub... Could it get any worse?

What could this be?

Dead modem?

Is there a possibility something on my Desktop is making an ass out of my connection because frankly.. Before April this connection has been perfect with no faults to report at all. Strangely enough this happens in the same month the whole WoW p2p kicks off again.
