After having had no problems with the service, yesterday I started losing connectivity every half-hour to hour for about 2 minutes, but the connection always reestablishes itself. I did the power cycles recommended of modem/router/computer. I spent an hour on the phone with a service rep who said my line seemed to be okay. I did a self test online this morning. Line’s fine.
No outages reported in my area. I posed the question but didn’t get an answer: if upgrades are taking place (and the website is not showing it), could this be a reason?
Before I spend another hour on the phone, has anyone had or been having this experience and can you provide me with a clue as to what to do next, if anything? It’s not a major problem, but it’s frustrating to be disconnected while working online or IM’ing or trying to make a purchase!
All suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Verizon Dsl Losing Connectivity About Once An Hour?

My Verizon Dsl Runs About 4.2 Kbs When Downloading?
Saturday, November 14th, 2009I browsed the web a lot a while back but after a while the download slowed down to SUPER slow. I mean It took 4 minutes to load one page. Downloading anything is a waste of time because it sits loading, and loading, and it never loads. I flushed dns, refreshed the connection, disconnected fro longer than 10 minutes and reconnected, and I’ve been virus scanning but nothing seems to work. Any ideas what this could be?
Question About Verizon Online Dsl?
Sunday, October 11th, 2009I just ordered DSL from Verizon today and my service ready date is scheduled for July 28th. I got the free modem and installation kit with it, too.
My question is this: How many filters come in the kit? And are any of these filters for wall-mounted phones? I have several phones in my house and I’m just wondering if I’ll have to purchase any additional filters.
Major Questions About At&t Uverse, How It Works,changes Made
Thursday, October 8th, 2009I currently have the top att dsl package dishnetwork bundle but have been hearing all this buzz about att uverse and i have a bunch of questions. first, what changes will be made around the house as far as new wires go ? i hear that uverse is fiber optic ran directly into the house but i also see others say that on their uverse they just used their previous phone lines (unless i read wrong). so which is it, a whole brand new fiber optic wire that gets ran into your house or just them using up left over space on the phone lines like they did with dsl ? they also mention these nodes, a main node that serves the neighborhood that then sends it to a node in the persons yard true/false ? also, a previous question on here stated that your uverse bandwidth is shared with your neighbors (with those nodes) which some how makes sense so i will assume it is (pls correct me if im wrong) so another question is, i have dsl, is my bandwidth being shared with my neighbors ? another, if i get a uverse package thats 1.5 mbps down, is that strictly my internet or my internet and tv ? and finaly, what the hell is fios ? i know its fiber optic but is it just verizons version of uverse (with better service) or is it a different form of fiber optic ? ive read alot saying verizons fios blows away uverse.
Question About Verizon Dsl Serice And Modem?
Sunday, October 4th, 2009Right now I have verizon DSL that I use on my desktop with the ethernet cable plugged straight into, and I can access it via my laptop wirelessly. It’s just when I download things on my laptop the download speed drops to about 40 kbps, but when I surf the internet its 54 mbps.
On my desktop it doesn’t work at all, I’m thinking its the router and I wanted to know if I could go buy another router not from verizon that would be compatible and let me connect one ethernet cable and access it wirelessly.
I would like to upgrade my verzion plan to the 3MBps/768 kbps so a router that can handle that, right now I have the Westell 3217 (model # I think, not sure).
I’m looking for suggestions of a router, also I’m getting a new imac which has 802.11n as well as the others and would like my new router to be compatible.
Not really looking for anything more than $60 as that what verizon offered for the same unit I already had instead of a free upgrade, so now I want to buy it myself.
Question About Verizon Dsl+ Routers!?
Sunday, September 27th, 2009I have a customer. They had a Verizon DSL modem there. And a Wireles router but only 2 office computers hooked up to it, hard wired, with ethernet. When I gothe router had no lights going, and 1 computer could see the other one. They also could not access internet. I went and got a Lynksys (last one on the shelf). And plugged it in. 2 computers immediatly saw each other. But no internet. I did everything, still no internet
Called Verizon to ask to refresh our signal (this is right, right?) with phone number of office with with account number too. Called Verizon etc. They cannot find the account. they told me and they told the head secretary that the account was real, but in “another city” and that WE did not have internet. They said we did not have DSL. The office has had DSL for years. WHAT IS WITH VERIZON! Am I doing this right? Tomrorrow I go in. I’m going to tell them that there information Anybody ever hear of a mistake like this?
