This kind of thing happens because of the phone lines. I had a Telco guy
explain to me once the phone lines from a neighboorhood all go into one
box. (duh) Anyways, 400 houses will get 50 lines, and the lines. If a few
of these lines go bad because a mouse moved into the phone box, or the
water level has risen, (That never happens in Oregon), then you will get
poor connections sometimes, and better ones others.

I actually have one use who can't connect very well, or stay connected in
the mornings, but right about lunch time and on he connects fine. It's his
neighboorhood. And calling the phone company won't get jack done for you,
at least not in USWorst land.
