We have called them *multiple* times, and they have come out and checked the lines, added a signal booster, etc, still no luck.

Just a side note on MStar (not a fan) they don't tell anyone, but they throttle your bandwidth if they feel that you are using it too heavily. I've been on UTOPIA and xmission for almost a year and a half. There was one major problem, but after that I haven't had any noticable down time. I use it at all hours and run servers. As for bandwidth caps, I only passed it once (before they checked). I think I got up to nearly 200 and that was with broadcasting big mpeg video canstantly.
