Background: Starting about 2 weeks ago, my throughput over my ADSL line has dropped by 300+kbs... But is not a constant, at times I can get good 590+ but then at other times I am getting as low as 56kb (yes modem v.90 speed). My provider claims it is the distance from the DSLAM, but I have had the service for over a year and this is just started. I can see distance from DSLAM caused my overall throughput to be limited, but to me that would be a constant and would place a cap on my max. I will be humming along as 500+ and suddenly drop down to 190-200 and then even down lower.. then up to 400-500 then back down. My question.. Is my provider telling me the truth? Is my distance from the DSLAM to blame for this? If so, why would it just show up now.. about a year of service. Thanks for any help....
