I hear that. It's amazing how much we rely on technology these days. Our cable modem died recently, after several weeks of bad service. Our provider didn't even mention the possibility of it going bad and scheduled a repair call a week in the future. Their attitude was like, no internet for a week? OK, no big deal. And this was after outages for several weeks. So I exchanged the modem for a new one and it works fine. Trust no one. Especially the guy who says it's probably not the modem... it's the service.
Anyway, good luck with that. I hate computer problems. And I'm a programmer!
Bill, I didn't think you are a programmer like me!  Maybe that is why we managed to get through to Nick with those debugging games we did with exact steps to replicate the bugs. 
I have modem/line issue with my DSL 1.5 yrs ago. After much finger pointing I asked the provider to send me a Gateway instead. Since they own the Gateway they cannot blame my router anymore in the future.
Then about 6 months ago my DSL download speed went up and down. During the fast hours it sits at close to 5 Mps but it slow to 1 Mps in weekday evening. All of a sudden I lost DSL for a few hours  but when it came back it stays constantly at around 6 Mps download and the usual 0.6 mps upload always. I pay for 7 Mps max with no download limit, no complaint from me.
