Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster here :)
I've got an ntl:home 100 modem on a 10mb connection (North Hertfordshire) and I've noticed that when using BitTorrent-esque programs (uTorrent) or updaters that make use of the torrent protocol for sharing files, such as that of the Blizzard Updater for World of Warcraft my modem will reboot.
It is now becoming a real pain, what can I do? I've heard that NTL will only replace hardware if the hardware is faulty, and the problem is sporadic at best. It becomes noticably more apparent when uploading at a more significant speed (20kb/sec+ I guess) as well as downloading. With BitTorrent this is ok but soon causes an issue (awful seed ratio's), but with World of Warcraft patcher (I am aware you can get the patches elsewhere, but it is a convenience thing) it is impossible because as soon as the download gets going (it'll share part-downloaded files) so does the upload, causing my modem to reboot.
I am using the ntl:home 100 modem in conjunction with a WRT54GS.
Please advise :)
Ta,
Tobe
