Even as I was writing this, the dsl light on my BT Voyager 205 Router is flashing, causing the connection to drop. Have tried getting help but no luck so far. Have XP on my computer and have done everything to resolve the problem.

SYMPTOMS:
DSL light flashes, line drops.
Very slow in loading/displaying web pages and won't up/download files.
Have tried to download the BT Broadband Help software but again the line keeps dropping.
When I start to download, the KBs is high (around 200) then rapidly drops to 10KBs or less. What should take less than 3 minutes to download on broadband is now impossible due to line dropout.
CAN ANYONE HELP? Computer is virus checked daily.
Many Thanks

Check your PC for any spyware that may be using up bandwidth.
Check settings that match for your ISP.
Use Task Manager, Networking to check utilization.

For the most part the symtoms you describe are due to a lack of line signal. Sometimes, the phone lines themselves are old and the additional impedence dampens the signal or they become so "noisy" that the signal you need gets "silenced". You will need to have your phone company check the signal from the poll to the house, and you may need to replace the lines in the house.
