Perhaps I should add my two cents (Dfl 0.02), because the reason of  
malfunctioning of MY Neuron modem I've never seen described before, and it  
might be a very general 'bug'. I discovered it in May, when it steadily  
grew warmer in the Netherlands (even got days with 20+ degrees - Celsius  
that is). You know what: as soon as the room temperature goes beyond 23,  
the modem starts to get 'carrier problems', the SQ (signal quality) light  
starts to flicker and after a while (on a News transfer) it simply  
declares 'carrier lost'. I solve this by getting a litre pack of yoghurt  
out of the refrigerator and laying it on the modem just a quarter of an  
hour before the news transfer starts: no problem (that's how I got this  
one - temperature is now 24).
