What the 'EF'!?!?

I have the Westell 6100 DSL modem, and the connection is terrible.

It constantly cuts out, not working at all and giving me black pages in Internet Explorer.

I have called verizon several times, and when I finally get an actual person on the phone.......I still  end up not getting results in the long run. I am guessing that the problem may be in my computer......

I use Limewire for sharing, and it says that I have a firewall up, but I have no idea where it is, or how to shut it down. Could it be that?

Well, anyhoo.... I posted my test results, and I may as well have dial-up.

Can someone please help!?!?

Has your connection always been like this or is ot only recent? Here are some things u can try to help.

~make sure ur telephone wire to ur modem is less than 10ft.

~try a different ethernet cord

~try resetting ur modem, or turning it off for 1min. and turning it back on.

verizon dsl has been really crappy for me lately,  cuts off at random times.  Slow as dial up some times.  Right now its not even working. i am using my neighbors connection. :roll:  I am so tired of this.  The connection just seems to be dead right now.

My verizon dsl only cuts off during every single thnder storm, do u think this could be related to why yours cuts off.
