DSL help

Swap the modem out, stud.
I just had much the same nonsense. While it boiled down to the firmware on the modem, I still needed to swap out the modem.
You can also have your ISP flash your modem and see if that does the trick. It may, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

The worst part of these internet nodes and modems and so forth is that problems show themselves as intermittent reduced capacity, reduced capacity, or just gremlins.
I'm just suggesting based on my recent grief.
I replaced my brand new modem at over half it's cost after shipping and all, and it works great.
I just got a bad piece of hardware.
Yours has likely just had it's day in the sun.
