Try using an ethernet rather than a USB connection. One of the problems with USB connections is that they can 'run out of steam' so to speak.

AFAIK all ntl modems have an ethernet connector: are you connecting with your router connected to this and your PC separately connected to the USP connector? IMHO you'd be much better off running both through the router: even most wireless routers have ethernet ports as well.
