DSL and landline phone questions and rebooting the modem multiple times per day.

[buk542]

about 3-4 weeks ago we started to need to reboot the modem MORE than the typical 3-4 times a day.

Then our phone landline went out completely.  Back within a day and since then, the DSL has been 100% useless.

I run a speedtest and get 1.2.   I get on chat with tech support (super fun by the way) and run the speed test a few more times and am told it's ok. (the speed magically goes up when I'm on chat..weird).

Last time i was told to run a speed test it took 2.5 minutes to LOAD THE WEBSITE for the speed test.

then the speed test results came back ant about 2.7 Mbps.

I have no idea how i can have a decent speed test yet it takes dial up speed times to wait for pages to load.

I used to be able to stream shows without issue.  now it buffers for 90 seconds to watch 10 seconds of show.

RIDICULOUS.

I'm convinced our line was never fixed properly from the outage a couple weeks ago.

Do I need to send in a repair ticket for 'noise on my line' to get service.  "Ansari" over in India is not worth chatting with. Done wasting hours of my life chatting about a problem that needs fixed here.

Last time i complained to the PA-UC about the frequent phone issues in our area, Verizon's official response was there were "mouse nests in our box that were causing the phone line outages".

I have zero other options.  Time-Warner won't run line out our way.  Co-Ax won't come our way either.

FIOS?  ha yeah that'll never be an option.  Satellite internet is slow and expensive.  Cellular Mi-fi is barely tolerable.

I have no idea what to do now to get something fixed.

maybe the PA-UC or BBB needs notified again.
