Issue in Swindon today 16/09
Connection down this morning, cycling through reboot every 2-3 minutes. Anyone else having problems in Swindon? B4 I ring up to be told wait 2-3 days and call back

No uBRs in Swindon were down today - might have been a fault on the CATV network though and that's what they were referring to. *Remembers when the town I was living in had massive fibre break and lost TV phone and bb for a little while, a very short while as ntl managed to replace 250m of fibre in 12 hours or so.

Not lost anything here in SN3, but was at work at the time of MattW & mrm1 posting, so couldn't check then.

Re: Issue in Swindon today 16/09
I am in the SN3 area and like yourself I had problems with my modem constantly rebooting.

This went on for 2 weeks and after numerous calls to tech support it was widdle down to low power signal. A engineer was booked to check the line and the modem. Engineer didn't turn up. Back onto tech support and was told that due to recent upgrades the booking never went thru. Meanwhile my connection went down completely with just the receive light blinking so onto tech support again and by this time, I am not in a very good mood and totally hacked off.

Spoke to helpful chap at TS and he put me thru to the faults dept and booked an appointment for engineer to come out, 2 days from call which I could tolerate.

Took that day off work, doorbell rang in the morning, got up, showed the engineer the modem and to my total disbelief the modem was working!!!

I felt like a proper charlie as if I had been lieing but he checked it anyway and got all positive results and since then (2 weeks now) my connection has been fine.

Very strange!
