switch ISP, I would say...I had problem with comcast before, the connection keeps getting disconnected. Pissed me off when I play game online. I haven't got any problem since using ATT DSL, and a lot cheaper.

well had the tech come out he said my line outside was loose that was causing the d/c that made sense so he replaced a splitter and tighted everything well guess what thats not the problem i still lose connection for 5-10 secs arggggggggggggggggggg its pissing me off really bad
