Just when I thought it was ok, guess what! It went again. Off for a couple of hours (and I was midway through a Nero update d/l!!) How long will it be on for this time is anyones guess!

Interesting to note that the problems as stated on the Tech Support line (for all of those post codes) are not listed on the Service status page of NTL! Don't know if my connection problems have been fixed yet (still at work!) I'll know in the next hour or so.....

Back on at home, but still really slow. Dreadfully slow in fact! Might be quicker to use dial up!

Re: [merged] Connection Problems PE27 3 (& Cambridgeshire)
Interested to read this thread. My post code is CB1 3SU. Am on 600K broadband and today, I had intermittent messages to the effect that "the connection was down" followed by "connection reconnected at 1000 Mbps".

Re-booting the modem eventually stopped all this - can anyone give an explanation, please?

Re: [merged] Connection Problems PE27 3 (& Cambridgeshire)
Here is the result of my test!

Fri, 20 Aug 2004 18:32:55 UTC
1st 128K took 5579 ms = 23494 Bytes/sec = approx 195 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 6546 ms = 20023 Bytes/sec = approx 167 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 7032 ms = 18639 Bytes/sec = approx 155 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 5015 ms = 26136 Bytes/sec = approx 217 kbits/sec

Not quite 600/750 i don't think......
