<description><![CDATA[lev posted : You should have seen the message below before you posted.  The specifics usually help.  How long you've had service and the modem are both important, and also if time of day affects the likelihood of having a problem.   Given what you've supplied so far, it could be inside wiring, outside wiring, interference, equipment failure on your end, or a card or equipment failure on their end.<br><br>------------<br><br>NOTE: Official AT&T DSL Tech Support Help is available here, but this forum and site are NOT controlled by AT&T! Just ask for help in your post, clearly describe the problem you are having, and provide any of the following information, if applicable:<br><br>&#149; Is this a new DSL installation, or has it been up and running for a long time? If new, what was your official "due" date given to you by SBC. &#149; What down/up speed package did you sign up for? (e.g. Express(384-1.5), Pro(1.5-3.0), etc.)<br>&#149; What exact make and model of modem do you have? If it's a SpeedStream 5100, it's important to state whether it's a 5100A or 5100B. They both just say 5100, but the 5100A has 4 LEDs that are round, and the 5100b has 5 LEDs that are rectangular.<br>&#149; What type of computer and OS do you use?<br>&#149; Do you use connection manager software, enternet 300, raspppoe or XP PPPoE, or is your modem doing the PPPoE?<br>&#149; Are you using a router/firewall? If so, what make, model, and firmware version?<br>&#149; If you had service prior to April 2001 and have wires ONLY for DSL (an unbundled loop, or UL)<br>&#149; If you don't have a UL, then do you have filters or a single NID splitter installed on your line?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[anon posted : My DSL connection has become very flakey in the last two days. The DSL modem (a Westell ProLine) keeps losing sync and giving PPP connection errors. When it does connect, the speed is good and there is no packet loss, but the connection tends to be short lived.<br><br>Is my modem dying or is this some other problem?]]></description>
