Yes, I've had the same sort of response from iiNet: they know the
number and length of dropouts are not acceptable (I specifically asked
that, and they said, yes, they agreed). Still, its a pretty persistent
problem, and one that did not exist before my connection changed from
transparent bridging to pppoe. Main reason I've been hanging in with
them is my head hurts when I think of changing my static IP number.
