I've got a 250 modem. About 3 months ago I had a 1Mb line installed and in the last 2-3 weeks I've been trying to use bit torrent downloads to download the (legal) archives of a radio show I like, but my modem keeps rebooting. I've now upgraded to 10Mb and I get exactly the same problem. Everything is fine in speed tests and when just surfing the web but as soon as I try to use bit torrent, the modem reboots after about 5 mins. Really annoying. Will phone NTL tomorrow but not sure what they will bea ble to do as it seems like they don't know what is going on.

I'm happy for those people who have changed to the 250 modem have got rid of the problem, but I've had a 250 modem since the start and it's no good for me.

If they don't get it fixed I'll just change to a different company, I don't care if it costs a bit more, as long as the torrents work.
