Yes well I have restarted my modem numerous times with no avail, i'm beginning to think that it is a contention issue. Which is why i'm switching to BT, They are giving me 7.6mb for the same price as eircom giving me 3mb, 55euro or so, i'm also using their telephone line as the full bill comes to just 66euro per month as opposed to eircoms 80+, you also get free landline calls and all the perks. You also get unlimited dowload AND it will be upgraded to 24mb when it is available in my area. So i guess what i'm saying is, eircom have lost a customer, why pay 55euro for 3mb when you can pay exact same price for 24mb.
