i have been having problems with my dsl lately. when im downloading data my modem "pauses" for a few seconds then resumes downloading. this "pause" happens when the "activity" light on my modem pauses and then the "link" light flashes and then it starts to download again.
this happens about one every 5 or 6 seconds and makes it impossible to play games online or to get a good download speed. below i will describe the lights on the modem to try and make it easier to understand.
theres 4 lights on the modem:
Power - lit up when pluged into power outlet
Ready- Lights up when pluged into the phone line
Link- Lights up when pluged into the ethernet cord from the computer
Activity- Flashes when downloading
I have called my ISP (verizon) and they said theres nothing wrong with their service and my speeds look fine but obviously something is wrong. i have tried reseting the network settings and stuff like that but so far its done no good. also my friend is having the same problem as well (he has verizon dsl too). But verizon still says its not them.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
