I'm having the exact same problem:

About 2 weeks ago I upgraded to the 10mb connection from a 2Mb connection.

The connection is fine when just simply web browsing when the load is light, however, as soon as some load is put on the connection (e.g. ftp'ing or bittorrenting etc), the cable modem reboots itself approximately every 5 minutes or so. This has only started happening since I upgraded to a 10Mb connection.

I have ran a speed test at adslguide.org.uk that says I am getting near enough 10Mb.

I have read about a lot of people who are having the same problem and most of them have the older Ambit modems (100, 120, 200). Of the people that have had their modems replaced for a 250 the problem has dissapeared. Now what bothers me is I know they are all capable of more than 10Mb, but is it that the older ones are more fussy of differing signal levels etc?

Modem: NTL Home 100 (Ambit) with ntlhm100_ntl0002.cpr config
Speed: 10Mb
Location: Leicester LE3

I'm going to call CS tonight to try and get it sorted, but any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris.
