change ISP

also, have your browser auto re-connect when virgin drops the connection (some download managers do this for you anyway if you have one running & downloading

)

BT do the same.

Change to ADSL and never get cut off

The two hour max is a right pain, but it stops people connecting and leaving it connected all day even when they are not surfing/downloading/playing.

Cheers
