I beg to differ but the Ambit 120 doesnt work.

According to the ambit site it handles upto 10mbps and thats it, no more. So when they go 20mbps you will need an update anyway.

I have been running on the 4meg for year with no trouble but the moment i upgraded to 10 it went to crap, always dropping out when i do any major downloads or torrents. Web browsing not a problem, downloads would kill it needing a reboot or wait 10 mins for it to come back.

So I phoned NTL, they said "Yup, you have one of the old modems, they dont work with the faster lines, cant handle the speed" and 5 minutes ago a nice Virgin man just left after giving me a shiny new Ambit 255 and it works like a charm. Nice 11megabytes a sec according to speedtest.net
