    I have a DSL connection with telus. Every now and then especially in heavy weather such as rain and snow, my connection gets cut off. However, even when not in heavy weather, my connection is still unstable. Its just so buggy and slow. Are these problems relative to Telus or is it the router in my home (WRT54gs). Also, the connections are not wireless, all connected by ethernet. Can someone teach me what to do or how to prevent internet breakdowns like these? I've searched google for other options but they dont give much insight. Any help appreciated...Thanks

    It is often times out of your control. You can't fix the telephone lines outside your home.
