Yes.

Seems fine uploading or downloading files through Firefox etc.

I did some speed tests with my 120, they were: 767Kb/sec 866, 654, 198, 972, as you can see they were eratic. Ntl engineer came round today, swapped my 120 for a nice shiny BLUE 250. once again i did some speed tests, they were: 1.24Mb/sec, 1.24, 1.24, 1.24, 1.24. WOW what a difference eh? you too can test your speed by going to http://homepage.ntlworld.com/testmyspeed/ then choosing 50Mb D/L. Good luck.

Is that from a speed test or from your config file ?

i mainly use newsgroups, but i do use Bittorrent and emule some times and when i was on 002 Firmware or 001 on my NTL120 Home i never had any issue's with disconnects or too many connections causing disconnections.

Its only since 003 firmware that upon load internet connect would cutoff and Sync light and RDy light stay enabled but needing a hard reset (power) of the modem and this would be on anything downloadable and even a few times general browsing, (must of pulled the plug about 20 times in 1 week) where as before its been rock solid stable 24/7 if need be

Since early this evening when NTL have now rolled back to 002 firmware i've had not one issue with my downloads which is what it was before they did the upgrade to 003 last week.

jonze · 24-01-2006, 21:42

am I the only one on 001 firmware?

ilys · 24-01-2006, 22:17

Is the firmware reported by the modem supposed to be different when you have the coaxial cable unplugged? It reports 0002 when connected but 0003 when not.

I also seem to still be having this disco/lockup problem.

Speed tests. Seems to have picked up a little but about 10mins ago my modem dropped off again.

I phoned NTL tech support (bangalore) and they refuse to send an Engineer to replace this modem even though they've promised it 3 times before.

markknell · 25-01-2006, 00:20

I'm back on version 2 but I still have an engineer booked to replace the modem on Saturday.

nj2112 · 25-01-2006, 01:18

Modem on v2 but still getting dropouts.
