My list of culprits: 1) In this instance, you have accessed a crappy modem at your ISP. Bad luck--nothing more. Try again. If it happens a lot, bitch to them about it. 2) There is a flakey connection at your end. Work the connector of each end of the cable between your modem to the wall jack in and out several times to knock off any corrosion/crud. 3) You connected thru a flakey switch in the telco's central office. Bad luck--nothing more. Try again.
