I've been on NTL broadband for about 4 years and only had about 4 or 5 really bad times, but I know how you feel with an intermittent problem as I had one when the upstream went west and I couldn't upload anything. But would NTL acknowledge a problem? It took me 5 phonecalls to get them to admit a fault
then about a month to fix it, but it DID get sorted!!
The MAC address is registered to the modem, not the computer, so you can take your modem to anyone who has NTL BB and plug in your modem and it will work, just the IP might change.
Nice to see you eventually got a swapout, now the million dollar question: is it behaving itself?
