HSI connection dropping, either DSL down or PPPoE unavailable, 10-15 times a day

[Don_Danielson]

Located in Powhatan VA, 23139  Westell 7500 modem, and the modem is configured with PPPoE credentials.  Starting around 10am, the DSL connection regularly drops for most of the morning until about 2-3pm.  Seems tolerable the rest of the day.    Once connection is lost, it stays down for 2-30 minutes at a time.

I ran a straight line from the Verizon box outside to the DSL modem, so no other devices are in play.  All computers are wireless connections

Noticed there does not seem to be a way to open a repair request from the website?  Online chat seems pretty useless.

Your line is having a physical issue with the quality of the signal coming in (and going out). Your Attenuation is high, your margins are low, and your speed, especially on the upstream isn't where it should be. Proper sync rates are 864kbps upload, 3360kbps download.

If you have Voice Service with Verizon, do you by any chance happen to hear static, humming, buzzing, or other noise on the line? This would indicate a trouble with the line somewhere that will certainly affect DSL.
