    can I prevent ISP from disconnecting me?

    Yes - devassoc - I have tried many keep-alive programs and they all work but do not prevent these disconnects. And no - compgirlfhredi - I do not have the 'disconnect if idle' option enabled. Also, thanks woody2002 but the link didn't supply me the solution ;/

    Telephone affecting my connection in different ways.

    First - I do have problems connecting to my service if my telephone device is connected - I can connect immediately with it disconnected (voltage problem?). With the telephone device connected I do get disconnected from the net (while browsing) almost always within a half an hour but can remain...

    Compression and Errors question

    I think you should try this-> open network connections and then open up the property page of the connection you are using. On the 'General' tab of this page select 'Configure' underneath where it shows your currently selected modem. Disable 'Modem Compression'. Next goto the 'Networking' tab...

    can I prevent ISP from disconnecting me?
