Unfortunately, unless you can be near your PC when you contact faults, you will get stalemated when you do get through as you won't be able to follow the troubleshooting steps they require. It's a pain calling them and being on hold for ever but until you can get through to them you aren't going to get anywhere, sorry.

I've been having a sniff about at the Operation Configuration of my modem and it says:

Network Access: Disabled

Does this mean I've been cut-off?

We do that- they have to be by the PC when they call. Really the menus should say it but having never rung, I wouldn't know...

I would say if it is saying network access disabled that it has been cut off. I have this in my modem configeration.

Network Access : Enabled
Maximum Downstream Data Rate : 2048000 bps
Maximum Upstream Data Rate : 200000 bps
Maximum Number of CPEs : 1
Software Upgrade File Name : ntlhm120_ntl0001.cpr
Software Upgrade AdminStatus : allowProvisioningUpgrade

I should call Customer services and see what has happened.
