You know what really gets me? I was using our nice Alcatel SpeedTouch at 
work in bridged mode (old layer-3 style services) and it was the same - 
 >1 year uptime 'till the last few months, then outages but not all that 
often. Of course we were paying $500/month in data charges so I decided 
it was time to move to the L2TSP ADSL system (PPPoE-based). Whoops. 
Since we got connected, its been 4 outages over 4 days (and today's 
barely started yet). So this is the new "better" DSL?!? *groan*
