Going with the line noise idea ... you might try this or that: If your phone line is running through a power strip, disconnect that idea, and go straight from the phone jack to the modem. This cleared up a DSL speed drop issue I was having. Of course, you're not protected with surges through the phone line ... but I doubt the power strip idea is doing that anyway ... mine didn't help awhile ago with a simple nearby lightning strike. Shorten the distance between your phone jack and the modem. You might also switch the hardwire ethernet ports on your modem. Sometimes one port will lose its umph, and moving your line to another one will correct things. As my ISP always starts the conversation, simply restarting the modem may help, too. Now if you're going wireless ... move things around ... It would help list folks if you'd give more of your details ... Mac, Modem, Connection Type, whatever. Good Luck!
