Zhone, Paradyne, ISP problem

[DillingerForce]

Hello,

I have a recurring problem with my ISP in the Caribbean. They have no support and access to help of any kind is .... not there.

I have a http://www.zhone.com/products/6211 plus Paradyne firmware of 3.00.17.

Please see .txt of my system log. Or see here in quotes.

Anyone know whether it is my isp or a router, cable, DSL filter problem?

Thanks

*(Edited to add more info).

[johnwill]

Sure looks like a modem or ISP issue. This is certainly a problem from the modem outward...

Yes I agree that looks the most obvious. I will try buying a new DSL filter and see if that is the problem, if not a new modem, if not ...

What I am looking for is a clear indication that this is an ISP problem so that they cannot squirm out of the problem ... which they will always do if there is any doubt.

[johnwill]

It's very hard to come with a "clear indication", and they can always slime their way out anyway.

[DillingerForce]

I bought a new DSL filter ... same problem.

Also to add. The upload stays the same (more or less) at about 300kbps, but the download varies a lot. 98kbps at times to 1233kbps.

[johnwill]

Time to beat the ISP mercilessly.
