No service in CM18 since 24th Dec 2004

[setch]

Does anybody know what is going on in the CM18 area. I have had no real service since xmas eve. I have been getting sporadic connections and they are far and few between. I am guessing that NTL have a serious server issue, but I would be grateful if anybody could enlighten me to when they expect to resume normal service. Nobody that I have contacted yet has been able give me a definitive answer.

tks

I have the same problem. NTL has been very bad for 3 weeks now. Especially at weekends it keeps giving up. Reboot of the modem restores connection for a few minutes and then gives up again. Downstream power level is around 2dBmV and SNR is at 31.7, upstream transmit power is at 27dBmV so all appears to be well. But if I set a ping (62.253.162.30 which I thinlk is an NTL server) running continuously the delay is very variable from 13 to >1500ms and eventually times out. Sometimes the modem reboots by itself. This suggests to me that there is nothing wrong between my PC and the headend down the street, so must be NTL servers somewhere? Any ideas?

Setch, send me your IP address and I'll check it out and see what's going on.

Getting exactly the same problems here. To be honest, had sporadic connections ever since about September last year. But the current issue with the connection getting slower and slower until the connection is virtually totally dead has been around since late December. As someone has already said, a reboot of the modem gets things running again, usually not for that long mind.

Everytime I ring tech support I merely get told that there are problems in the area currently which are being looked at. Seriously, how long does it take? This problem has been on the server status for nearly a month. Have not got any power levels to hand at the moment but last time I checked it was within the reccomended levels.

Let me know if you have any luck getting your problem fixed....
