If you live in an AT&T area, your line is subject to the "ramp-up" period. This can take up to 10 buisness days. During this time, you NEED leave the modem on for the ramp-up to work properly. For the first 10 days the modem is testing to see what the highest sync rate it can hold is.

Some other FAQs that talk about this:

»AT&T Midwest/Ameritech FAQ »I just had my SBC Ameritech DSL connected, why are the speeds so low?

»AT&T Midwest/Ameritech FAQ »New & upgraded customers read this about speeds. (Ramp-up)

Any feedback you provide is sent to the owner of this FAQ for possible incorporation and shown publically as well.
