In the past couple of days my SoDeTel DSL connection has started to hiccup every few seconds. I say "hiccup" because it is not disconnecting; the modem isn't giving a red light or anything like that. Everything looks normal but the traffic itself hits zero up & zero down for a few seconds, and then resumes for a few seconds.
I've been calling Sodetel support but they don't seem to understand this nuance. Finally they said they will monitor my line for 24 hours. I checked back today and they said they have to redo the monitoring because I restarted the modem at some point.
Here's BitMeter while loading a youTube video:
Here's a ping request:
If I'm browsing, page requests often fail. If downloading a file, it'll eventually tell me the file can't be found. If I'm gaming online it will kick me out to the lobby.
Any idea what could be causing this?
