I'm in a bit of a bind. We're experiencing very poor connectivity at the moment from Slingshot. We're lucky to be able to stay online for more than 3 minutes at a time.
I've had very bad problems earlier this week and they seem to have gone away again. I'm on the same exchange as you, but with a different ISP (Xnet). Xnet reported that work is being done on the Frankton exchange. I suspect that is where the problem lies.
I think a lot of people will be experiencing outages as they seem to be in the process of upgrading exchanges.. all of a sudden i can connect at adsl2+ at over 2 megabit.. and my downloads went from 100k average to over 7 megabit average the other night.. so even if you need to go buy a new modem think of it as an investment.. I do have a dlink dsl302g (free xtra modem) that i use for testing at times if you get desperate, can loan it to you if needed.
