Anyone else here with NTL get dropouts? Was happening me all weekend?

The ready LED would start flashing constantly, instead of being on permanently, and then link would drop. Sometimes even the LED would go off altogether. Leave the modem off for a min, with ethernet unplugged, start up and wait for LED to go solid. Then plug ethernet in.

This happened repeatedly for an hour or so and was completely wreckin my head, then it was fine again. Hasnt happened since sun bout 11am now.

This happen often

Yeah, It's been really bad here (Crumlin area). It was fine up until about 10pm last night then it just died. Having a hard time even getting an ip address, it is taking minutes to get one after a modem reset. Then the connection is very slow.
It has taken me over 20 minutes to get this reply box to appear.

Strange. I couldn't get any sites to load up until a few minutes ago.

Nice one.
I wonder if they ever do it the other way - someone signs up for 1Mb but is accidently given 3Mb

fwiw ntl tv went down in some areas of Dun Laoghaire last night for a short spell around 10pm'ish.
