might be

 

noise on the line

general heavy usuage with your isp

your computer

 

 

id start by scanning for viruses and spyware

 

 

does it do it all day every day?

if so id rule out the heavy usuage....that normally goes at certain times during the day

seems to be worse around now.....that suggests useage?

yeah

if its a t a certain time its prolly heavy usage

too many people using the isp together

 

all you can do about that is...........only go on off peak (when theres less people online)

 

change isp to one that can cope with the amount of people they have

 

 

i think its down to 2 factors

large isps always have the most people obviously

smaller isps with more people than their smaller eqipment / lines can cope with

Currently, it seems that work is going on in exchanges for ISP's to offer the "up to 8Mb" service.

Since that has been going on I, and several friends, have been experiencing frequent disconnections.

They promise that it should settle down.

 

I'm with Tiscali and have been getting 5 or 6 disconnects per day for the last 2 weeks or so.

I'm with Orange and went through a period of getting disconnected, I got the error 680 no dial tone message, after a few calls to Orange they told me it was a problem at my exchange (Intake), it's now sorted itself out but if I do any speedtests I'm told there's an incompatability with my line.
