Do you have filters installed on every phone in the house?

DSL uses the other 90% of the phone cable that the 10% analog telephone communication does not use, with out filters, normal phone use, or simply having a phone, satalite, alarm system or a fax mashine hooked up to they phone line could disrupt the DSL signal causeing your modem to disconnect, the filters filter out the DSL signal from the phones and other stuff so that it does not interfere
also check the RJ-11 length(the phone cable from the wall to the modem), it should idealy be 6 feet or less, but the max it can be and still transmit safely is 20 feet
what you can also try is checking for packet loss, if you open command prompt, and type in:
code:
ping -n 20 google.com
that will ping google.com 20 times, look for where is says
code:
packets sent=20 resieved=20 loss=0 (0% loss)
if loss does not = 0 then you have packet loss
at that point i would suggest reseting TCP/IP and Winsock, should you have windows XP you can use these commands:
TCP/IP
code:
netsh int ip reset log
winsock
code:
netsh winsock reset catalog
if that still doesn't work you should contact your ISP tech support for frequent disconnects
ps, if your wondering how i know this, i'm a DSL tech support agent
