I had to flash one of my Virgin Media routers (a Netgear one, I think) with DD-WRT because it was so unstable (requiring a reboot every 1-3 weeks). DD-WRT was fantastically stable by comparison - it had well over 200 days uptime at one point... and then we had a power cut. I've since had that modem/router combo replaced with a SuperHub*
* they're really not that Super, believe me. If it wasn't gigabit I'd just use it as a modem and hook the old DD-WRT router back up.
