Re: Constant modem reboots
Hi there. I had this same problem. Im goin to copy one of my posts from another thread...think this is the 3rd one ive pasted it into!! I had same problem, with torrents, but mainly with Skype. Most likely with the heaps of data they send and recieve. I had the 120 too, now on the 256 =]
I phoned this morning after my modem constantly rebooting when large amounts of data would be sent back n forth. I was in work, and the woman wanted to conduct tests on my modem, which was off. So after phoning my mum to get her to switch the comp on...by which stage it was 3:15pm... I phoned back, a list in hand of all the lights that were on/flashing so I could inform them. I explained the situation again to a different operator, and asked what the chances were of getting a replacement modem.
"Yes of course, I can organise that for you"
That was it, no questions, just a "Was I sure I needed a new one". I told him I had had that modem since I first joined them about 4 or 5 years ago. He agreed saying the modems life spam is normally about 3 years. I should have this in 2-3 working days.
Just ask straight off if you can get a replacement. (If its not older than 3 years...well then it is now! If u get my drift!)
Happy days
2-3 days later and I got my new modem. Now I can use Skype, browse sites and download all at the same time and it remains connected
