For the past 3-4 weeks (June 2004) both Web and Mail access drops out
for period of 5 mins to an hour or so, at any time of the day. This
has been every day in the last week or so. It does not match any
specific service annoucements NTL have been making.
I am aware how difficult it will be to get this seriously investigated
and that NTL will initially refer me to my own router/PC as the
culprit. I do not believe these are the cause (no resetting of local
eqpt needs to be done - the service just returns when it feels like
it). I suspect that NTL's servers are overloaded or going thru
maintenance or other problems but proof would be nice.

I am in the IP range 80.6.206.xxx and am on the East side of Reading.

Anyone else been experiencing the same?

(I also added this comment in a thread in General called Outages in Reading but am posting a new thread here too as it's probably the more correct place.)

Do the lights on your modem (if there are any) flash or change whilst this happens? I would say its most likeley to be a levels issue, which CS should be able to see?

I just do MPEG stuff tho, so I may be wrong, I have been in the past.
