Sometimes my internet is very slow, sometimes none at all... DSL light is solid.....

Internet light blinks rapidly , or goes out totally. Wireless light flashes.

Sometimes unplugging/ replugging wireless modem helps. Sometimes not.

There is a splitter / filter where the modem connects to phone jack.

Same with mine. DSL used to be great but for past 2 years I have had issues with DSL. Have you tried to report it? You might want to read over the posts other people have made about DSL issues. These posts help explain a lot.

hi, you wrote "There is a splitter / filter where the modem connects to phone jack" is it possible that somehow the filter has been inserted between the modem and phone jack instead of between any telephones or fax machines or answering machines and the phone jack? also, when your connection is slow, can you try connecting with a cable instead of wirelessly? if you can and the problem goes away, maybe you have some new source of interference on the wireless frequency your modem is using....like from a new cordless phone or baby monitor? or even from a neighbor using same wireless channel.... this is changeable in the modem settings if that's the case.... good luck

Sounds like you're suffering from a bad case of congestion. Get Verizon to fix that.
