Yep, he's going to call NTL tomorrow to report a fault.

Seems to be a downstream power level problem as my modem has been working on his connection for about 6 hours without a problem, as soon as I unplugged mine and put the Teryon back in then it was obvious something was wrong, timeouts on webpages, stop/start downloads in Newsbin and the 'Cable' light occasionally going out and flashing before lighting back up, suggesting a disconnection.

Seems my 4100 is more tolerant of the higher downstream power levels as mine is +16dBmv and only acts the tw@ on the odd occasion, but that's in another thread!

Will see what happens when he's reported the fault.
