I have dsl from qworst also. I ran into that problem
about 3 years ago and it turned out that my FIRMWARE
in their modem needed updating. Been solid since. You
MIGHT check their current revision of firmware from
their site and then do a 192.168.0.1 or whatever the
last is and check the INSTALLED revision on your
modem.

I was still able to get in, but being dropped
regularily before updating the modem. Just fyi and
possibly?? your problem.
