Ntl Broadband Connection Dropping

Stevek101

Since about Friday every ten minutes or so my internet connection is dropped and it takes about a minute to reconnect. I was just curious was anyone else having this problem.

I checked in the event log of the moment and the following error is shown.

Hmmm. I wonder why its gotten so messed up. I mean its happening every minute of so now. I'll have to give them a buzz tomorrow.

My NTL Connection has been grand over the last few days (based in Tallahgt). I also see those warnings in the event log but they aren't related to any drop outs. May be they are doing some upgrade work ?

We are sufferring non connectivity since Saturday morning. Still not working at all today.... Oh mine, my weekend was so empty... without NTL broadband... :mad:

We were having some similar problems a few weeks ago, although not dropping
as frequently as the OP.

We found that setting the DNS servers statically worked for us.
Worth a shot I'd say.

Mart, where are you based? I'm up in Leopardstown, and its being down since yesterday I think, the 'sync' light just keeps flashing and no amount of resets has fixed it.

Don't particularly want to ring them, i'll just hope its fixed tonight...
