Yep, it has dropped once when I first connected but has been fine for the last hour.
Just downloaded the NAV 02 from Pipex which took about 14 minutes for 38mb. According to the ADSLguide speedtest, I am averaging 366 down and 220 up - downstream seems below average but it depends on traffic I suppose.

I've been running the Fujitsu ADSL modem on Pipex for a few months now (bought mine though) and I have never had a problem with it dropping the line and re-training.
When you initially boot up, it can take a few secs for the modem to train, but once done it's fine and I have left it connected for days at a time with no problem.
Really impressed with ADSL and if I go to anywhere with 56k now, you realise just how bad it was!
What sort of d/l speeds you getting and pings for games?
I assume you're all running good AV software and a firewall?

Yeah, it is very quick to setup and get online!
You need to run the free Norton Anti Virus software (get off Pipex website) and a decent firewall (i.e. Zone Alarm, which is free) to make sure your system is secure and you are protected.
Then, away you go...
Simon - Well, looking at a house round the corner from you, but not seen inside yet so I dunno if I'll buy it or not. Will be going for a proper look this weekend I think.
