    Morning all,
    My cable modems stopped working lastnight. The Sync and Ready lights are not coming on. I went through the disconnecting the power process that they talk you through on the ntl helpline but no joy. So the girl said I need to have a service call and next week is soonest they can do it.

    Has anyone else had a modem just die suddenly like this?

    Does every body have the same modem? A small silver one?


    Cheers

    Unlikely that the cable modem has died, though possible. More likely is a connection fault of some sort at a junction somewhere along the way, either inside or outside the house.

    those modems have a very low fail rate , so I'd say its something else ...

    whats the exact state of all the lights ?
