Might be just me as it seems to have come right. Murphy's law it was when I was adding something to the network so don't know if it was me or was just a coincidence.

Hmmmm , missus rung me before and said its still doing it dropping in and out. Will reset everything when I get home and see if it comes right or will have to lodge a fault I guess.

yitz: It's fine now here, may or may not have turned out to be a cabling issue though.

Which part of chch are you ??

Waltham here so not that far away.

Mine came right late yesterday, but playing up again now -- this is the third day in a row, trying to make a Skype call turned into a comedy show.

So turns out the problem was the spark router had done its dash, went and bought a new Asus router and hooked up to the ont and not a single problem since plus a much better router to boot.
