I've been suffering some physical disconnections due to bad line and not so strong filters. I don't remember disconnections at ISP level ( Netvision ). Maybe it's worth to put a "keep-alive" option in /etc/ppp/options so that the provider do not disconnect you when idle? There has not always been maximal speed even for local sites, but then - it could easily be due to the same bad line. OK, due to me settling in a new building in a new neighborhood - no more ADSL for me - Bezeq are not ready to provide it in my neighborhood yet. So - bye-bye Bezeq, hello Matav. BTW - Is anyone here connected to Netvision via cable? I've spent several nights trying to connect to their cable VPN server and then discovering pptp miserably fail after just 2 minutes - and the PPP link being dead all the time since being established. And the reason is - PPPD. IPCP negotiation provides the remote IP address being the same as the address of VPN server. PPPD creates the route to this remote IP address via PPP link. And then - it's a hen and an egg problem. PPP link is over VPN link to VPN server, but to reach VPN server, you've to go via PPP link. Dead loop is established, and then pptp timeouts.
