Anyone noticed that the STBs tend to lock up when you start downloading/uploading a lot? NTL told me that this could be due to a virus that sends out loads of information, but I checked and I'm not infected (it's Windows only anyway, so couldn't affect a FreeBSD box).

The concolusion I have come to is this: all NTL STBs are broken. They all lock up if you start sending and receiving loads of data on many connections, as you would with a P2P app like Kazaa or Bittorrent. I'm going to try to get them to give me a cable modem. Can anyone else confirm this?
