| Non Random Disconnects I am having a problem with ADSL connectivity because of LCP

The date/time stamps are the local date/times when the connection was terminated and the "Connect time" is the elapsed time since the previous disconnect.
This has been ongoing since early in February. Prior to that the connection was rock solid and I had no disconnects for days on end. I have tried three different modems, a Zyxel 652 modem and two different Actiontec GT-704-WG modems with no change. I have also looked at my end for anything that might be triggering a disconnect and have found nothing. The ADSL line comes in from the street on its own separate twisted pair and goes directly to the ADSL modem. I have changed nothing at my end that I am aware of. Finally the logs always indicate that it is an "LCP terminated by peer" disconnect which to me indicates that the problem is at the DSLAM end of the loop, or at least the disconnect was initiated there.
Although the times vary, they seem far from being random. Is this suggestive of a particular problem that you may have seen before? |
