Webpages don't load fully, videos stop halfway through,

Sometimes in the last couple weeks, webpages don't fully load, downloading files from the Internet (talking normal downloads, not P2P) will stop randomly and will never complete, streaming videos will stop streaming randomly, PSN disconnects constantly. Anyone else had this problem before?

Here are my router stats, Errors are stupidly high atm but it does this when errors are very low:

2500 errored seconds in 55 minutes is a lot, only 3600 seconds in an hour and it may be the errors even when low cause streaming problems.

You look to be running on a 3dB noise margin, standard ISP response would be to slow line down by placing you on a 6dB target noise margin.

Have you tested the connection using the test socket, to rule out noise/errors coming from extension wiring.

My router is always in the test socket. This was happening when it was at a 6db noise margin as well.

If you have control of the router try forcing it into ADSL2 mode

Doesn't make a difference.

If it just came on out-the-blue then some engineer has been messing about at your cab or DSLAM on someone else's line and interfered with your connection. You can just wait it out but usually they find their mistake within a day or 2.

Do not know ISP you are with .
I was with Eclipse and had the same problem on a regular basis. Moved to BT 3 months ago and problem has disappeared.
I had read that Eclipse had a problem with the way it handled P2P downloads. Created false positives which affected access. Eclipse denied this and thus moved rather than pay £180 for a BT visit.

Is a long ping

Ping -n 500 www.thinkbroadband.com showing packet loss and variable latency?

(Corrected parameter)

What does isp say?

Command prompt says that's a bad parameter.

He means: Ping -n 500 www.thinkbroadband.com or omit the '500' from his.
