Feedback received on this FAQ entry:
  • I have DSL using a 2wire modem. The performance has been spotty for a while, but I am consistently getting "Server not found" errors. This is especially true of www.yahoo.com. But I get it also for other sites - google, bing, att, etc. I have looked at the modem and do not see anything wrong with the modem. I ran a speed test and got 204/227 kbps for a Pro service. It has gone back up, but even with a higher speed I consistently get "Server not found" errors.

  • I have a Speedstream 5100 with 5 lights and the link for line stats will not load. My speeds have dropped a lot and sometimes I have no connection at all. My speed is supposed to be 1500 and most of the time it is around 450.
