This morning I have disconnected over 5 times in a 2 hour stretch. I have to go into the garage to power on / off the Alcatel when it drops. I ran a line test and here are the results. »/pingtest/b32a···66?r=294 Unfortunately I have an older modem Alcatel 1000. It has served us well the past 12 years. Currently I am getting ~5meg down and 600k upload according to speedtest.net. I am on the 6meg down plan. Only thing I have notice when I have these dropped connections is when a new wifi connection appears in my selectable list of wifi. In the past 2 months, I have seen 5 new wifi connections. Can new users coming online with DSL affect my DSL connectivity? Thanks.

dragonman300 join:2011-03-02 Anaheim, CA Reviews: ·RoadRunner Cable ·Dish Network ·AT&T U-Verse	reply to vcincampbell yes, I recommend Motorola 3347 or Netgear Model 7550. It is more reliable than 2Wire/Pace. Netgear Model 7550 have Wireless N if you want stronger signal in your house. Both modems cost $100 each. If you want cheaper one, then I suggest $25 Netgear N300 with dsl modem built-in. »www.beachcamera.com/shop/product···GN2200RF

Actually it wouldn't hurt to have a second known working modem for swap out testing if something should go bad with either your line or your primary modem. You don't want to invest a lot of money into replacement modems, in case AT&T decides to convert your line to ADSL2+ which requires another flavor of modem authentication to make the PPPoE connection. -- TCE Weather
