I had the problem with the modem cutting out on monday evening(NTL 250 up to 10mbps) At about 7pm.
Rang ts and was informed that the s/n ratiowas to high and that the problem was with the green street box,(makes a change from their usual comments about "its your computer thats at fault".
The connection finally returned about 10pm, although the syc and ready lights were flashing for a good 20 mins. Ran a speed test via the Cable Forum speed test and recieved the unlikely figure of 176mbps(it has now settled to a regular 7.76mbps as before it cut out).
With all this talk about firmware upgrades and bad patches what should the firmware be for the 250, mine reads:
Boot Code Version : 2.1.6d
Software Version : 2.94.1010
Hardware Version : 1.19
