Disconnection

kenb12 · 04-22-2006, 03:46 AM

Can use computer in mornings (for hours) without a disconnection. Afternoons 4.30pm and early evenings keep losing connection. Comes back on, an irregular time scale, e.g back on again maybe after 5 or 10 or 20 minutes.
Have two computers entirely seperate (own modem/router) once I lose connection remove comp from line and connect 2nd comp.No effect connection remains down. This is a regular occurance.
Could this be a problem with my ISP over what I would think is the 'busy' afternoon/evening period.

Well, I'd have to say that all indications are that your ISP is the problem. I think it's time to consider a new ISP.
