Problems in Portsmouth area
Anyone else experiencing complete drop outs in connectivity in the Portsmouth area? I have been suffering continual drop outs that last about thirty seconds for the past week or so then the connection comes back to life? Or is this just standard NTL service?!?

Not entirely! 
I seem to be having a bit of a proxy problem in Southsea. When connected to a site, downloading is OK; but connection to websites can vary from a 2 - 30 seconds. 
It has not been this poor for ages, and nothing has changed at my end.

Re: Problems in Portsmouth area
I see that NTL status page shows planned maintenance - "Network optimisation will result in a loss of service in the Portsmouth etc etc. . . . .areas" twice this week!!
Stand by to reboot your modems!

Re: Problems in Portsmouth area
I am having the exact same issue. For the last week been getting 30s ish loss of connection in the Waterlooville area.
I called NTL broadband support who told me my modem was working fine, and of course there was no problem when I was on the phone *sigh*
Let me know how the engineers visit goes!

Re: Problems in Portsmouth area
No problems with dropouts in landport, althouth we did need to reprovision our broadband once about a week ago.

Re: Problems in Portsmouth area
I have been experiencing cut outs in waterlooville. Quite frequently getting signed out and cut off VoIP software. I had a similair problem before where my signal levels needed turning up and a forward path attentuator fitted.
I dont think this is the problem, my signal levels are fine, just extremely brief cut-outs over the past few days. Sure its the upgrades for those lucky 3 meggers!

Re: Problems in Portsmouth area
i'm in the waterlooville area as well and last week the net did seem very slow and it did go down a few times. But this week it's slighty better.
I think NTL better try and upgrade the network again, seems everything is going slow.

Re: Problems in Portsmouth area
NTL report that slow browsing in the Portsmouth area may be due to proximity to France.

Re: Problems in Portsmouth area
In Southsea the last two days there is slow browsing during the evenings around 21:00-22:30 and loss of connection for 20 minutes at around 00:30. Generally service is great all day long.
