I am unsure on this, my modem I had noticed I had to keep rebooting it twice a week or more to fix speeds plummeting, I put it down to the auto negotiation crapping out but one thing I know is these problems started after I flashed it to the new bios. Since I manually specified the negotiation things so far seem better but speed fluctuations are still there but I dont know if this is NTL themselves or the same problem. What I am usually seeing is if I say download 3 gig of data the modem will be sustaining max thorughput for around an hour and then start fluctuating widly and if I reboot it then it is suddenly sustaining the speed again.
