Seems you need to resolve the modem issue before you can take this further.

Nope different subsystems would deal with traffic and the status pages.
Modem has to switch the traffic, doesn't go anywhere near the bits that would deal with ping replies to itself, or the web daemon.

Possible yes, pointless yes.
Not really an easy thing to do either, kinda requires some new laser equipment, new cabling, etc, etc, you get the idea. You're unlikely to pay ntl enough during your time with them to pay back the investment of resegmenting you personally.

Anyway...
This isn't really helping, this is just a collection of unrelated issues from people who happen to be in Manchester. We could have a 'Manchester issues' a 'Berkshire issues' a 'Hampshire issues' etc etc this really doesn't help and ends up as nothing more than a gripe thread.
Really what are the symptoms, can you pop a traceroute in so that can see if you're losing routing rather than total disconnection if that's the case, etc, etc.
At the moment this isn't helping anyone get anywhere as it's a complete mess with no sense of direction or organisation.
There are loads of things that can cause these various issues, and nothing that can cause all of them.

I get this message trying to connect to my webspace;
Is there anything that can be tried to find where this problem is?

I don't think that's the ntl network to be honest. It doesn't care what you are trying to access, all it cares about is getting whatever you are sending to the other side, be it ICMP, FTP, etc, etc.
Anyone else in Manchester who can replicate these FTP connection issues?
Scary I know, but replication is usually a very very good step towards troubleshooting.
An idea of where people are in Manchester would be handy too.
Or we could just carry on with the random complaining without any real information to assist in resolutions.

Florence suggests that isn't the issue as she informed that it was the same bypassing the router.
Not sure if that meant that the stability issues persisted or the issues connecting to servers.
