For the last three days or so, I have been getting intermittent drop-outs in my internet connection (KT).

I have unplugged from the router and gone straight from the wall into the back of my computer and get the same problem, so I know it is not the router.

Is anyone else having the same problem with KT or know what else I might check?

YES! I figured it was my wireless router. I haven't tried plugging it straight into the wired box. It's been happening for about a month. At first it was mostly when streaming videos (aherm), but it has been doing it on most any site lately.

Strangely, it doesn't seem to cut out if I just leave a torrent running.

For me it seems to be mostly browsing that gets cut out.

When I look at my torrents, they are running, but I get a "Connection Error" in my browser. Strange.

I have even turned off my torrents to see if that made a difference, but it did not.

I regularly get short service drop outs both at school and apartment on our SK internet services. I also noticed not all connections are equal. My work computer has faster internet connection than the classroom computer just 3 meters away, but on it's on separate line. There's this huge router box in the corner of the English classroom where the whole buildings internet connections come out of with a bundle of Ethernet wires going into a hole in the wall. one would think all same things are equal, but things are not what they often appear to be. I might have the fastest internet, but I got the crappiest CRT monitor while all other school computers have modern LCD's.

My internet is really struggling just now. It's dropping out for about 3 minutes in every 10. It's definitely the modem or line. I just reset the box, and the data light was off, then when I reset it, it came on flashing (maybe it's meant to do that).

Pain in the ass! Why doesn't stuff just work.
