So Ive had awesome verizon connection till recently. Now I'll randomly DC. Or it'll seem like a DC where nothing happens, the modem completely slows, stuff logs off and then everything is back like normal. Checking my modem logs shows this. Never had this before.. so I have no idea what to do. I cant play gamesonline like this.. Bleh. Help?

Edit: More info.

Verizon DSL. Westell 6100 modem. 4 years or so customer. Never had this problem before. Connected to the closest jack. Nothing has changed. And I never get the download limits supposedly that Im supposed to have with my DSL connection

Update after messing around. Switched the router DNS server to opendns. Its stopped the DNS error but I still randomly lag/DC and am getting errors like

 Disconnecting session(0): My Connection due to PADT received

I dont have the full log cause I reset my modem and forgot to save it. Seeing how long my connection lasts now. @>@

In your router, post the modem status.

Depending on what the screens of your Westell 6100 looks like..

System Monitoring -> Advanced Status -> Transciever Stats.

Or it may be

Trouble Shooting -> Transciever Stats.

Tech support could do nothing. They referred me to special tech which is 14.99$ for atleast 10 months or 60$ early term fee. Hahaha. xD

Man.. I dunno what to do.. This sucks..

No static at all. Also. I did a full system install. Reinstalled Vista 64 clean. Same problems. I cant stay connected at all and Im banging my head on a wall now. Verizon isnt helpful cause I have to pay for help and am commited to it. Cant get something different from verizon cause my contract is till 2011. So GRRR.

Are all of your computers set to use Open DNS or only your computer?
