Seems in my case that my problem is with my wireless router and not with NTL. I think it can only handle a certain number of simultaneous connections. After a random amount of time, my router reboots itself, and I dont get any connectivity again until I pull the plug on both my modem and router and switch them on again.

Is anyone having the disconnection problems without using a router?

Also, I didn't know that you get much less bandwidth over a wireless internet so it was good for me to plug it in with a cable anyway.

Good luck,

Yep, I'm still getting the disconnections and I don't have a router. My modem is connected directly to the PC via ethernet.

I've also noticed over the last couple of weeks that my speeds have dropped drastically. About a week after signing up for 10Mb I could get 9Mbps, now I only manage around 4Mbps.
