Well i decided to get broadband and signed up with aol <bad choice i know>

About 4 days ago I got disconnected from the internet... [bleep] i thought

Reconnected and then about 20 minutes later got disconnected.
This happened all that night and I though, Right just a problem with the line, will probably be sorted tomorrow.

Next day= same thing

reinstalled my modem drivers, then reinstalled aol, same thing happening

Next day I reinstalled windows <dumb i know, but couldnt figure out what was causing the problems>

No luck

Finally resorted calling aol where some dumbass started to spew drivel about using disk cleanup, how i should delete my cookies and all that crap

Finally got passed onto a senior technician who said that I might have some spyware, or a problem with my pc.

Now my pc is running sweet as [bleep], and nothing gets onto my computer without me knowing about it.
My final guess is that theres something wrong with the modem, but sometimes I can stay on for 2 hours without being disconnected, and sometimes 2 minutes.
Ive seen posts about the modem overheating, but its no hotter than usual.

Im using a 105 voyager or w/e its called.
the power and dsl lights never flicker, making me believe its not a problem with the line

Well hopefully someone can help poor old me
