I had nothing but trouble with DSL and went to cable actually. Of course that's just Telus, I don't know what company you're going through. But when I was on DSL the phone filters didn't work and we had constant static on our phone lines, the connection constantly cut out, 90% of the time we couldn't reach customer service, and we had about 2 days every week where service was out in our area. I've never been so disguted with a company's service, but that's just my tale of woe, I'm sure your's will be better
