DSL major issue
Gilligan:
Ditto on the hosting if you really meant web server hosting.
I'd also look into just a solid internet service and maybe look into some VOIP providers. I use VoicePulse and all the bells and whistles come in real handy at times.

Beats me, we have our website hosted by a different company than our phone/internet provider. The reason for that is if I decide to change providers, I don't have to move my website...and change all of my outlook accounts. It's an easier transition. Same can be said for the server. That hands out IP addresses on the network, before that, any time I would change providers, the new modem would hand out IPs and with that came resetting up all of my network resources. Everything from the vinyl cutter, QB, the various printers and all of the computers. It was a hassle.
I am with comcast now with everything, and there is no looking back.

Hosting Co. that I deal with has a sale now.
They are $3.15/month for hosting. Like soem say "shameless plug" coming after this :)
If someone is interested, there is a link on the bottom of my web sites home page (I get commission on the purchases if there will be any)

I hate AT$T.
I was having issues with crappy speeds once, and called them up.
"Oh yeah, looks like someone here pressed the low-speed button."
WTF?
During the summer I would have issues with spotty connectivity. I finally
traced it down to a plastic connector someone used on the line instead of the demarc box.
It was sitting in the sun and would get hot and expand and break contact.
Moved the line to the box and all was well. Of course I moved shop a week later
but whatever.
Try and think if you're problem coincides with anything else, weather or otherwise.
Remove the variables. Unplug everything on the line, hook your computer
straight to the DSL modem, no filters, hopefully swapping modems and computers if possible.
Eliminate the possibility it's on your end and then demand AT$T do something about it.

Here is an update.
Today a new tech came out actually still here.
They completely went over all the lines in and out up and down and around. Finally the one guy hooked up the modem in the buildings main utility room where everything for this building comes in then distributed out to each unit. He connected the modem then his lap top to the moden and sure enough decent down load speed but zero upload.
Now they finally admit something is up on their end and they called in a much more advanced tech guy that is now in their main distribution box on the street changing cards out. Fingers are crossed and hopefully we are back to normal today. Still to little to late,
We signed up with Comcast for internet and yep phone. Brad we haggled with them and finally got them to agree to a contract that will keep the pricing the same as ATT for two years. We are keeping the web hosting with ATT since it really is not ATT anyways but a third party and it works fine and is cheap.
