Connection problems

[hutchy]

Hi, i've had the ntl silver broadband package through a PACE stb for about 3 years now, and in the past year or so it's randomly cut off but a quick reboot of the stb got the connection back up again. but over the past week it's been cutting off and not coming back on again.

Today for example i managed one hour of connectivity, and then nothing more until now.

Should i just phone up and complain, or is there anything i can do on my end to fix this?

Do you use a router or is your computer connected directly to the STB?

When the connection fails what IP address does your computer have from the STB?

If the middle LED blinks or goes out, you should definitely ask NTL to fix your connection.

i just got off the phone with them, the first woman i spoke to determined it was a problem with SP2, but i know it isnt. so i phoned again, and the guy who ws on the line actually checked the stb and an engineer is coming out on wed to take a look at it

The engineer just left, turns out the AEI USB adapter was nearly dead, a common problem apparantly, so he just gave me a new one.
