Re: Modem seems to have died

It suddenly cut out yesterday lunchtime, came alive for an hour or two again, and hasn't worked since. I know it isn't the connection or the computer, because I've borrowed my sisters CM, and everything works fine with it.

So, my questions are, have NTL changed something that would cause my old Modem to be unusable? I notice they did maintenance in my area of the last couple of days before it stopped working. If not, and the modem has simply given up the ghost, will NTL replace it with a new, modern snazzy looking one? Or will I have to buy a new one myself, as I did when I first had NTL installed?

Thanks in advance.
I had a terrayon surfboard (though it did not much resemble a surfboard I often noted) and that died (wiped out ) - a bloke came round and replaced it with a trendy little blue new one with flashing lights on the front that's not that much larger than a floppy disk and does not get knocked over all the time like the 'surfboard'
