Are your friends in the same post code area?

Are there any neighbours the closer the better with ntl broadband to see how their coneenction is.
It could be a cabling problem from the node in the street to your property,if it is then a cable repull is needed.

Let us know how you get on.
Next door neighbours works fine, they have slower connection, 700k, but tried my computer on there and it was good. I have already had new cable pulled through, they have also changed bits in the box and also bits in other places (sorry bits is as technical as I can get!!)

The engineers did keep coming back and tried many things (technical again) and also phoned me regularly to see if what they had done had made a difference. Then all contact stopped in November (they did say they had run out of ideas), they also said that something was being changed or added in my area in January, and they would make sure mine was changed first!??!!!

I'm sitting and hoping for an improvement - but feel I may have been forgotten
