Bulldog Broadband Connection Dropping

Hi,

I've been having trouble with my Bulldog broadband connection dropping. It does this every day, although the amount it does it varies. Sometimes it'll go for hours dropping and reconnecting every few seconds and sometimes it will only drop once every few hours. I've had two Bulldog technicians ring me but nothing they've done has helped.

I'm using an 8Mbps connection. When the first Bulldog technician called, he said we were very close to an exchange and the line could take up to 9Mbps. The line was 4Mbps until a couple of weeks ago. We had exactly the same problems at that speed.

If anyone can suggest anything I could do, I'd greatly appreciate it.

In case it helps, here are the modem stats from my brothers Mac, which also has the same problem:

Thanks,
