My bro has/had the 1 Mbit connection and as far as he knows still did...
NTL said they would swap over his modem but they never did.

I did a bandwidth test and i found it ranging from 1450 to 1800 Mbps.

Is a new modem really required or is the modem now running out of spec?
the thing is that recently in the last few weeks its been cutting out and locking up the modem if he restarts the comp and then it works again. I check for viruses etc nothing so i reinstalled it.. Im waiting to see if it crashes again.

Has anyone had a similar exp or know something?

Cheers
