Grrrr it's happening again now. After downloading from around 8:45 last night till 4:00 this afternoon I was hopeful the problem had gone away. I reset my connection and have now been cut off 3 times within the space of 2 hours when downloading. I have rung AOL again and tried even more stuff, here is a list to date of what I have tried:-
1) Changed filters and disconnected everything else from every phone socket in the house.
2) Installed 3 different versions of AOL and formatted the hard drive twice.
3) Had my phone line checked by BT.
4) Performed various tasks suggested by AOL which were never going to make any difference.
5) Run fault checks on my modem and AOL.
6) Run spybot to check for crap.
7) Threatened to beat my computer.
Aside from my next move which is to try a new ISP I can't think of anything else. I don't believe that it is an AOL problem though as it is only recent.
