I have a similar ongoing problem but I'm with BT Ireland. The line/connection keeps dropping and I get a message to say that it "Cannot find Server". Last year BT got Eircom to check the line and they changed the modem etc but none of this helped and I got so fed up that eventually I gave up ringing the technical support and just put up with it.
As far as I can see my problems seemed to start around the time they doubled the broadband speed last year. Since they've increased the speed again some weeks ago my connection goes down constantly with the "cannot find server" message. I finally got so frustrated last week that I rang the technical support again. I was told that my problem was my firewall and that I should switch it off. Now, I'm not too good on the IT front but I was a bit gob smacked when they told me to do this. When I queried it with the technician (I only have the standard XP firewall that came with the computer) I was told (rather rudely) that it was up to me and that it's my problem if I don't want to switch the firewall off!
I'm beginning to think that I may just change to NTL, at least then I won't be relying on telephone lines.
