anyone else using Qwest/2-wire DSL service?

[JD Austin]

I remember that I went through a DSL modem every year due to bad lines in my
area.
I had a static IP and it would just drop connection randomly when the modem
was going bad.   If I had a non-static IP it would have done what you're
experiencing.
Your modem might be ready for replacement.
If you complain enough they'll RMA a new one to you/them.
