Recv, Sync and ready lights flashing
for about the last hour or so the recv light has been flashing as if there is network traffic coming into my pc even though the pc has been turned off.
If I reboot the modem then the sync flashes and the ready light blinks and I have no internet connection for about 15 minutes.
I am on 20meg using a NTL250 modem and I connect through a virgin supplied netgear router.
I've looked in the modem settings and I found this to be a bit strange in the Operation Configuration.

I've phoned virgin tech but got through to india and they have booked an engineer to come out tomorrow and said there was no area fault.
Anyone seen this before or know whats happening.
I'm in the Teesside area.
Cheers.

Well their tools must have shown that the was a local issue and you were offline so a engineer visit sounds about right.

Re: Recv, Sync an dready lights flashing
I have just discovered that these are the settings that my modem is displaying, I'm still getting the same speed.
My modem hasn't been cloned has it?

Where can I get a explanation of the lights on the front of the 250?

Your modem has not been cloned, this is a bug in the modem firmware which incorrectly reports the upstream and downstream speeds.
This should be fixed soon.
Nothing to worry about.

If you've no service impact don't worry about it. End of the day so long as the service is working fine who cares what lights flash and when.

Re: Recv, Sync and ready lights flashing
no, no upgrade planned.
Just had my ntl250 swapped for a 256, now the recv light has stopped flashing but the send light has started flashing.
The engineer did mention something about 50meg being launched in my area and the chew on it is to set up.
do you think the 50mb roll out might have something to do with my issue?
