There have been some people that have also had very short loops report the same problems you are having. They added an extra 50-100 feet of CAT5e in between the modem and it fixed their problems.

The modem IS the router though, so how would this work?

Yeah this doesn't make any sense, unless he means the phone cord not the ethernet. I've got a 1' cable into another switch and a few other 3' cables with no problems.

But still I would think chewed up wire that was shorting out is far more likely the cause.

The phone line itself is quite long, I'm at the end of the row of townhouses, so it's at least 100', plus internally there's a 25' or so cord looped there from the installer.

Whatever the case is, replacing the wiring in the electrical/telco room seems to have worked:

System Up Time: 2d, 1h, 17m
DSL Link Up Time: 2d, 1h, 16m

I'll probably spot check it from time to time, but I believe it to be finished. Hopefully everything I've posted in here will be Google'd for years to come by others who encounter hungry rats feasting on their phone lines, and save themselves some time
