Yes, that's right - 13 months.
In that time, I've had 6 engineers out. I'm not even going to talk about the frustration with NTL technical support, but anyway, here's whats happening.
13 months ago, I got random disconnections. The disconnections ranged from 3 times in 1 day to 100 times in 1 hour (literally). I got an engineer to come out, he checked some things out, replaced my modem and off he went.
Still got the disconnections.
However, strangely, a few days after that, the disconnections stopped. I was then fine for 5-6 months with not even 1 disconnection.
Then they started again, as worse as ever. I was extremely angry and that led to me getting no fewer than FIVE engineers out. I don't know what the hell they were doing, but they couldn't fix it. They replaced a few cables and changed my modem a crapload of times.. that was it really.
If 6 of them can't fix it, who can?
Basically, when I get disconnected, either the RDY light stays solid and i have to power off and on the modem OR the RDY and SYNC lights refresh, and it connects again.
I have tried everything to fix this. I repositioned my cables, replaced my cables, replaced modem, replaced motherboard and bla bla, practically replaced my whole damn PC after that.
This happens COMPLETELY randomly. When it is connected, it works PERFECTLY. I'm on a 10mbit line and my max speed is 1.2mb/sec, so yes, all is working good when its on.
I'm a heavy online gamer - that's why this is so frustrating for me and I can see it easily obviously.
Any help is appreciated... I just don't know what to do anymore =/
