Yep the smallest of things can cause the biggest of problems. 

Of course, don't blame me if your mother has a heart attack or something.

How about the other stuff?

It's near a TV, not near a microwave, and near a cell phone.

The TV and cell phone are suspect.

Well it took me right to the ATT home page, not to a plan, so I really can't say much in regards to the plan. But yes, generally speaking that's a pretty bad connection speed for DSL.

The cordless phones could still be interfering too. As can TV's, microwaves, cell phones, and any other signal emitting device.

Good point. Like I said (for some reason unbeknownst to me) you rehashed a seemingly very old post, and I can't locate it, so I really don' know what that conversation was about.

It was here: https://twctodayforums.com/forums/index.php/topic,4.msg3381.html#msg3381

I've noticed that my internet connection has been having some very minor downtime. What happens is I'll try to go to a site, it'll show up as a page can't be displayed, but if I refresh it comes back up. Compared to what happened with DSL, it's obviously not bad, but still I'd rather it not have any downtime at all.

And you shouldn't have any downtime at all. It is not normal.

Wow Dan, that's not very good for a DSL connection.

Splitters and filters are different. 

Oh. I thought you meant splitters because you quoted Gil's post that said:

Come to think of that, i had the same probelm with my cable modem. I had a splitter, with one connected to the modem, and
the other connected to the TV Tuner, ad it almost completely killed my internet connection. So yah.

I can't locate the post you quoted (because its old and after looking back about 6 pages I gave up!  ), but I believe what Gil was saying was that he had filters like you had, that were in essence splitters (had an outlet for phone, and one for DSL).

You don't use filters with cable modems.

Really? I have my new cable modem hooked up to a coaxial splitter, and it works fine (it also worked fine when we had cable before).

Splitters and filters are different.

Yeah, there's not really much of a difference between Excellent and Very Good. But if it drops below that, then there'll definitley be a difference.

NOt that you had any kind of extraordinary problem with the DSL.

Glad everything is up and running Stephen! Hopefully you won't have all the trouble you had with the DSL.  8)
