Mine would work in the a.m. when I first logged on but would disconnect soon. This went on for about a month, during which I had the phone company out over and over. Finally, a friend got in touch with a supervisor whom he knew, they came out, and discovered a bird had built a nest on a wire maybe 1/4 mile from where I live. They evicted the bird and that took care of the problem. Just a thought. Hope it is resolved soon. </HTML>
