You need to get a new modem, VM stopped giving out Scientific Atlanta's about 4 years ago. Ring them up and tell them your modem is ancient.

They should then send you a shiny new Ambit 255/256 modem free of charge.

You're probably thinking of the Motorola Surfboard, the SA is a Cisco modem (replaced the Ambit's) and it was only superseded by the Hub/Super Hub.

As long as the coax cable used is R6(R59 if you have to)/HD100 then you shouldn't have any problems. As PistolPete said, it's probably an issue elsewhere.

Does it appear to be capped at 300kb/s or does it fluctuate throughout the day?

Best bet is to get onto the cableforums.co.uk forums and ask on there, plenty of VM/NTL/Telewest engineers that'll be able to help you.

Probably caused by Internet Security software.

Buy some foam shielded Webro WF100. Vastly superior to RG59 and R6.
