I don't see anyone else lining up with this problem, which suggests to me that your ISP or your computer has issues.

Changing DSL modems without changing service providers is pointless - a DSL modem does nothing that would filter traffic.

Are you using any of the following:

firewall
anti-virus
zone alarm type software
hardware DSL router
wireless hub

Does your DSL provider require you to:

connect using their software (programs installed on your PC)
use accelerator softare
install anything on your PC before using their service

Does your DSL provider:

filter out going mail requests
filter spam
filter, restrict, or otherwise have adult filters of any sort

Finally, do you have access to:

alternate DSL provider
dialup service
a wireless laptop and the ability to connect via a hotspot somewher else?


Your the only one with the problem so the problem is likely yours.... or your service providers.
