Embarq DSL intermittent and slow?

[NotDeadYet]

Spent a half hour or so on the phone with the tech yesterday. Inconclusive. Nice to hear it is not only me. Seems a bit better now.
Seagrove, near Seagrove Highlands.
Have to say, in about four or five years with Embarq (now CenturyLink) dsl, this is really the first significant problem I have had.

Yes, finally, this afternoon the connection is back up and running smoothly. Now I have to go apologize to my computers and the Linksys router I've been yelling at for days.

I spoke too soon... Terrible connection today

I hate to say it but I just signed up for a dsl line as a backup for my Mediacrap cable internet. When it goes out, I can't work! I figure between the two of them I should be able to have constant internet. The CenturyLink lady assured me that they no longer have outages and slowness like they did last year because of government regs that would not allow that to happen. I laughed at her, told her I was purchasing as a backup to the other service that goes out just as often as theirs and then read this thread to her as proof that they do, in fact, still have problems.

Old Seagrove, we've had slow and spotty service lately also.

Kurt, egg on my face but I don't know what the ctrl a ctrl c submit thing is. It sounds like a handy trick I'd like to add to my bag....

After writing your post, with your cursor in the message box, Ctrl-A selects all text, Ctrl-C copies it to your clipboard. Then if your connection drops you can hit the back button and Ctrl-V in the box which pastes your text from the clipboard. All this can be accomplished in the menu and by right clicking selections but the keyboard shortcuts are easy.

In firefox when you hit the back button your text is usually still there also, but not guaranteed. IE may be the same now but I haven't used it in awhile.

I'm still having some troubles here at Camp Creek... mostly seems to be an intermittent signal; everything will be working fine, then it all freezes and links/new pages won't open, then a couple minutes later it is fine again. Seems to be happening several times an hour. Resetting modem & router and restarting computer doesn't help.
