    I would test the broadband first by using a wired connection to the modem or router. If the wired connection still fails then I'd raise the issue with the ISP, and possibly with the line provider.

    The wireless should only be tested.after you have established satisfactory wired connectivity.
  • I'm on Virgin Cable and I have to say its far better than any ADSL ISP I have had. The connecation is so much more reliable. I also use a Linksys wireless router and it hasn't dropped out once since I switched it on 5 months ago.
