I will clear things up here. Our Internet is fine. This problem has been with us from both locations when we moved. We use Cable (Modem has been changed out twice) for our Internet. We have 1.5 Up and 10 MB Down. We have spent countless hours on the phone with our ISP to ensure we had the best

What an ISP considers good and what is good for VOIP/Gateway may be two different things. ISPs often only look at transfer speed (are you getting an average of 80% or better of the advertised speed for up and down.) You also need to look at such things as jitter for VOIP. This all points to some

My suggestion at this point would be look at the router. Similar problems with the guys in Temple occurred every time they connected to another gateway or a reflector. Finely the router bit the dust. With the bandwidth you are talking about this should NOT occur at all. So, look at the router or re

If the problem starts to occur a few days after the gateway has been rebooted, then the suspect would be the gateway is getting busy and is unable to route the packets in the appropriate amount of time. What do the system performance tools indicate? Does the processor tend to get busy after a fe
