Hi,

I have upgraded from a 2mb connection to 10Mb. I have a NTL Home 100 modem (ambit) that has the latest firmware and a speedtest done at adslguide.org.uk confirms that it is running at nearly 10Mb.

When just browsing web pages etc (when the connection is not under much load) the connection is fine (modem not rebooting), however, when I start downloading something big and put some load onto the modem (e.g. ftp'ing or bittorrent etc) it keeps rebooting approx every 10 minutes or so.

I live in Leicester and I know there is quite a bit or network upgrade work going on there, but it seems strange that the modem only starts rebooting itself when it is under a heavy load.

I've emailed NTL with all my signal levels etc to see what they say.

I don't know if it's a signal level problem or the modem on it's way out, any

ideas?

Chris.
