I used to have a Netgear router that worked fine and then started to
choke and had to be rebooted often. I assumed it what a weak CPU and
that it couldn't keep up with modern bandwidth usage.
I suggest you disconnect the router and plug in the modem directly to
your machine and test from there. You should also disconnect all
devices connected to the phone plugs in the house to test. Many years
ago when I was with Sympatico, I had some major speed issue and the
problem was an old ADSL line filter.
Also, make sure you aren't going over the 100GB limit for Vif:
"Anyone reaching or going over this limit is switched to a secondary
server which has a lower priority, and may experience slower service
during normal usage hours."
Many years ago, I used Vif. It failed really hard for me.
Disconnects, slow-speed, fake unlimited bandwidth, etc. When it would
work and I would reach my cap, I would end up on the secondary link.
That secondary link was slow as hell, even MSN would disconnect! I
don't remember the details but I do remember that they calculated the
bandwidth in a weird way that could get you switched to the second
link faster than you should.
Good luck.

Hello/Bonjour,
Having a hard time keeping my ADSL (vif.com) connection up. Does a high
speed modem and/or router fail gradually? This has been going on for a
few weeks, but not all the time.
Natty Narwhal built-in hardware checks show no faults.
Merci/Thx
Sustain
