What area are you in?

Do you use a standalone cable modem (SACM) or a Digital TV set-top box (STB) for your broadband connection?

Is this the only problem?

From surrey near epsom, yes use a SACMYes generally all of sudden ill get no connectoin, i do tests with the medic and windows tests everything sais its okay, but on games and generally just the connection drops.

Ok what server are you connecting to for the game and which game,

Also what is the status of the Modem lights when the connection dies?

Another thing as well which Modem is it, model, colour etc.

And lastly

I have the ntl home 120 edition its the far left light just goes.

the modem is the small samsung vwersoin.

Cheers for any help!!!

How do you mean use all your avalible bandwidth?? i have Ntl120

How do you change your banwidth???

Could it be the modem or is it it more likely a software issue???

Does your Internet connection work once the game has been dropped, for example the web browser still fetches websites?
