My g/f has dsl and i play xbl on it.. but her dsl keeps droping like every 5 to 10 minutes. We just got a new modem and put in and a new wire to the phone jack. It doesnt do it for a long period of time anymore like it used to. but just enough to kick me out of a game. the dsl light on the modem goes off for a second and blinks then comes back on. Then its fine..but it does this every 5 to 10 minutes. Anyone know whats up?? |

Post Number: 3654 Registered: Mar-06 | try to restart the DSL itself, reboot any routers... make sure you have line filters on your phone lines, ect ALL PHONE LINES NEED THE FILTER if you get phone calls without it u can even drop DSL it doesnt clean the signal without it so it can mix on the same frequency and yea... DSL drops... when i had DSL (which i just got rid of from being slow) i havnt dropped connection for years (power outage dont count) now i got comcast... it wentout more times in the feww months then the DSL did in 7 years.. |
