I live in the Burngreave area, and have not seen any problems with it at
all.

About 3 weeks ago I had cause to reboot the cable modem for the first time
in about 6 months (not related to any connection problem), and following
that, a new IP address appeared.

But DNS has worked fine.

The 2 I currently get are 62.31.144.39 and 195.188.53.175.

Do you know if these are the old or new ones ?

Steve.
