I have been having many problems with my 20Mb XL connection for the past three to four weeks. It sometimes takes 2-3 reboots of the modem (Ambit 256) to get a connection as the Ready light keeps flashing constantly. My modem log is also showing frequent loss of sync. Quite frequently at peak times I get poor download speeds (2-4MB). I know a couple of other people in the Colchester area having the same problem so I doubt it is the modem.
Another problem is that my PC's network card loses the internet connection completely and I have to diasble and re-enable the LAN connection, a yellow warning triangle appear over the network icon.
