This is happening all over the UK, there is no quick fix. Settings that work for some don't work for others I'm afraid.
Take a look around the forum for modem settings that might work for you m8.

from a very good source,and its not a rumour,i cannot go into the full details of this but they can brick modems and routers with the new software,all down to a signal they are sending down the feed to disable modems with non compliant software that certain modems are running on,and i have not read anything,keep an eye on this forum and others for peeps having the same problem over time..
