NTL Broadband Keeps Dropping

I have NTL broadband which seems to be dropping off every hour or so for around 30secs to 1min. If im listening to the radio online obviously it stops and web pages are times out.

I dont adjust anything or switch anything on or off, the connection just returns. Now, is this NTL being their usual rubbish ISP or could it be something else. Has happened over last week really and is starting to get abit annoying :mad:

  • Have to say that I'm on the 2Mb connection, and have noticed no problems at all recently. Could be just your local cable headend though. Have you reported the fault to NTHell yet?

As the night wears on, my posts will become worse, with simple spelling mistakes, inane ramblings, and a blatant disregard for the truth. I have no authority to do anything, so there's no point asking or telling me. If you see me past midnight, please tell me to get my coat and order me a taxi.

    lol@ NTHELL...I am also with NTL and have found the service very intermittent and their helpline well below what i would expect for the money that i pay. I am also annoyed that their offer at the moment for all 3 services(broadband,telephone and tv) is only for new customers, so loyalty gets you beggar all. Any opinions on who is better????
