Hello BigGiraffe,
Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience that you have experienced regarding your DSL connection.
I have here helpful steps that you may follow to help resolve slow
speed:
1. Check your computer
-Reboot by turning your computer and modem/router off and then back on again. Simply rebooting solves most connection problems.
2. Check your web browser
-Clear the cache (temporary internet files) in your web browser, clear the cookies in your web browser.

3. Check for electromagnetic interferences
-Relocate the modem about 2 feet from anything electrical.
-Make sure no speakers, cordless phone bases, subwoofers, or big screen TVs around the modem
-Move, unplug or turn off any halogen, neon, and/or florescent lights nearby.
4. Check your connection
-Make sure DSL line filters have been installed for all devices using the phone line.
-Measure your connection speed at our speed test site. You can run speedtest using these websites: www.speakeasy.net or www.speedtest.net.
