The only time I experienced data losses that large was from an Iphone. Are you sure you have the WIFI turned off completely? Is the WIFI light out on the front of the modem?

I just hope you can get your DSL back again. I get the feeling that the phone companies are trying to eliminate all land line services. I've been trying to get DSL for years. I'm always told: "Sorry, we don't have enough server capacity to give you DSL." Of course, they never seem to even consider adding more server capacity, which in these days has become less and less expensive.
I have a 2 year contract with Hughes Net so I guess I'll be stuck with this crap that was hyped up to be so much better than dsl, I hear it on the local radio stations every day about how great it is, I don't see it. Hopefully they will have fiber in my area by the time my contract ends.
It's your choice to sit around griping about your network and doing nothing about it (other than vigorous griping), but another option is to troubleshoot the network with the help of the people on this site and fix what's wrong. You can also cancel the service. There will be a monetary penalty for breaking the contract, but if you're so miserable and prefer not to try to figure out why your network is having issues, the fee may be a better choice than the misery.

Good luck with that, I've been waiting for fifteen years :>)>
The mods should be back next week. Maybe they can look at your system and help.
