I'm in BH17 and I've noticed a problem this evening. Connection appeared to be dead initially despite all the right lights being lit. Rebooted cable modem and it took about 5 mins to come ready. Connectivity very hit and miss, with about 50% packet loss.

In the BH area as well, had no internet at all last friday, and came home today and it's like I am using my 28,800 modem again

hopefully it will get fixed soon, I've had to un-learn how to browse sites and forums using tabs now, lol

BH7 here and also seeing packet loss tonight, and 56k modem speeds. the speed has been crap for the last week or so..not good

And seems to be back to normal now, so hopefully whatever the problem was is now fixed.

I too have been having problems with BB in bh14 area seemed to just drop out no service at all very similar to a few or less weeks ago where service went for hours on end seems ok now came back at 4.30pm after hour away did speak to ntl faults but no good [maybe they realised and sent out tech to investigate? he [at ntl] did mention some router work was happening ?]
