Angry Broadband down yet again!

This is really getting annoying now. I've had 3 engineer visits and a replacement SACM and my broadband connection (which NTL advertise as "Always connected") is down yet again! Every time the engineers visit they say that they can't find anything wrong with my connection, but there's obviously some sort of problem, as my CM is frequently losing its connection to NTL's network

I'm in Fleet, Hants using a silver 'ntl:home' SACM.

Re: Broadband down yet again!

Nope. It's happend in hold & cold weather, wet and dry. I woke up this morning (cue blues music) and had no connection. It's happened quite a lot in the last several months, but unfortunately the topics discussing iit were over at the .com site. Sometimes the connection drops for a few minutes at a time, sometimes for over an hour.

Ethernet, connected to an 802.11b base station (which is working fine. The lights on the CM show that the problem is between the CM and NTL)
