Ok people- im shit with computers and cant figure out whats going wrong here.
I have freeserve broadband and a copperjet adsl modem- the usb status light is always green, but the adsl status light sometimes goes red- this obviously kills the internet connection and brings up an error message if i try to reconnect saying to check modem and computer connections-
As far as i can see all connections are fine.
This is an intermittant problem that seems to be more and more regular.
I can sometimes sort it out by killing the mains switch to the computer and modem, turning it back on and restarting the computer
I am also getting really slow connection sometimes, but other times everything works perfect
Anybody got any ideas whats wrong......If I dont reply straight away you will know why lol

hmmmmm---good point...we got three phone points in the house-two upstairs have filters, downstairs one doesnt
Would this efect the internet all the time or just when the phones are in use
Looks like i might have done the same as you- cheers mate i will get another filter tomorrow and try that

im on blueyonder, when i first got broadband we had a problem where every now and again we couldnt connect, we phoned up and the enginer came and screwed these things inbetween the cable and modem which i think boost the signal? havent had the prob since.
