Post by: jm_paulin on May 06, 2011, 08:44:53

The only problem I have had so far is the vDSL modem failing.

How did you determine it was the vDSL Modem and not something else?

It probably burned a hole through the desk.

Okay, sort of joking. Busted network equipment can get very very hot.

I rebooted only the modem, everything worked fine for 5 minutes then failed again with a flashing dsl LED. Support are now advising users to connect a PC/laptop direct to the modem, then try making a connection. http://www.idnetters.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,25638.msg610427.html#msg610427.
