For those who understand these things better than I, I have questions.

Since I moved to my new place, I have had Qwest DSL service for my internet.  I don't like it.  It is slow and it randomly freezes or aborts whatever I am doing.  For those who I talk to on various IM programs, you may have noticed me signing in and out constantly; that is why.  My DSL will "blink" or something, and boot me off of the IM program, making me sign back in.  I finally got fed up and shut them all down, I can't talk to someone with it acting like that.  If I am in the middle of clicking on a link or new page in Explorer, sometimes it will either freeze, or go to the white "Page not available" error screen.

Now I don't think it is my computer, since it has never done this before with dial-up or cable internet.  However I have done a "repair" on Explorer and deleted all cookies and temp files.  I have also installed the little DSL filters on my two phones, hoping that it was interference from my phones.  Nope still does it.

What else can I do?  If I don't get it figured out, I am going to cancel DSL and go back to cable, which I know for a fact works just fine and there is a cable jack 2 feet from my computer.
