NTL:250 modem, flashing ready light
Hi guys,
I've been on the NTL 10Mbit connection for nearly a year now and its always been great, no drops, great speed etc etc. However, the power just went out due to a toaster shorting and since then the modem won't connect. The sync light is on and the ready light is flashing pretty fast.
Checking the modem status at 192.168.100.1 tells me the following:

Re: NTL:250 modem, flashing ready light
If rebooting everything don't work then I would think you need an engineer to visit. Maybe the surge caused when your toaster shorted has killed it. Strange though as it is isolated from mains current by the transformer in it's power supply, unless the power supply itself has suffered?
On the other hand it all might be coincidence and you are having a local outage.

its also possible that as luck would have it, they started work on his UBR at around the same time,and its going to come back on later after it can get the modem config off the TFTPd.

Yep as the guy above me says, get a tech if there is no outage.

Re: NTL:250 modem, flashing ready light
and like i said 'they started work on his UBR' there are reports of the 'modem registration' not working while they work on the network on the VM webpage..... and no 'engineer callout' required, just a little time...

Re: NTL:250 modem, flashing ready light
check the service status on 08005610061 and if it isn't down in your area ring 151 from a virgin phone or 08454541111 from a non-virgin phone
