Manchester - are they finally doing something?

[Retrovertigo]

Last couple of days, late evening I have lost all connection a few times and had to reboot my modem. But speeds seem better than they were (still nowhere acceptable though)

Also my downstream power level has dropped from almost 10 to between 1.8 and 2.0.

Just curious as I asked on the newsgroups as to whether there was any news on the fault number I have and they said there was nothing to report yet.

If your computer is connected to the router and you're getting network cable uplugged, then it's either the router or the computer at fault, not the modem and not the network.

Funny, I used to get bouts of that 'network cable unplugged' thing all the while when my desktop was wired direct to the modem. I never rebooted the modem though because it didn't seem to affect anything and after a while it would stop by itself.

Since introducing a router and creating a small network the issue has stopped completely.
