Here is an idea - demand they re-lay all your cabling, and connect you to a different tap at the streetside cabinet?

Also, the problem with bittorrent/emule/p2p apps and the NTL modems is that the high amount of connections per second is too much for the modem's internal tcp/ip software, which then crashes. I got this also when Telewest issued me with a Webstar modem, when I demanded a Motorola Surfboard, the problem stopped. The problem is that the Ambit modem's NTL use are cheap, and rubbish. Sadly, you can no longer purchase your own Surfboard modem and have NTL connect it, as I would have done this long ago.

The SB modems also run a lot cooler, which is unusual considering they have the mains power supply built into them and not seperate as the Ambit modem does.
