Is anyone with Pipex?

If the dropouts are related to the sync between you and the exchange then it's either line or hardware related - good luck in getting f$%^$%& B f$%^$%& T to do anything about it if it's related to the line.

If they're PPP disconnects - then that is probably ISP-related - since Pipex is now Tiscali and was taken over by TalkTalk - good luck in that one too.
 
Tell me about it. It's so random though. The phone line's fine I'm sure. I've had things like this in the past, and it's generally been either because Pipex are fannying around with something, or last time it was cos my modem was knackered. For the price I'll order a new modem anyway, good to have a spare, dunno what I would do without the interweb these days - how could I order more shaving stuff???

Check the logs and see if it's resyncs or PPP drops - obviously if it's PPP drops then a new modem won't make a blind bit of difference. Wet & windy weather often exposes deficiencies in the line (it's how my mate's drop from 8M to 135k started in July - and took until late September to get BT to rectify it after involving OFCOM - it was diagnosed by me remotely but BT India decided to send a "boy with a laptop" instead - eventually the BT tech turned up scanned the line visually as I did and spotted the insulation hanging off).
