How can I prevent my ADSL connection from randomly disconnecting at night?
Q. Beginning at sundown, my ADSL connection randomly connects and then disconnects. It does this until sunrise at about 6:00 am.
There are no burglar alarms or special lights in my home. Tech support is of course clueless and can only ask questions about filters and such nonsense.
It only does this at night. During the day it runs as smooth as silk.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so how did you fix it?

Maybe your ISP is doing maintenance and not telling you. Consult your SLA.
What else is happening at night after sundown? Are people at home then? Are there people using the phone a lot when they are? Is that when all this is happening?
During the day when it is not happening, is it that no one else is home and using the phone every once in a while?
If the above are true, it could really be the filters that are connected to the phone lines in the other rooms.
If the above is not true, then the only other thing I can think of is that a neighbour somewhere is hijacking your connection (if it is wireless and you have not implemented secrity login).
Good luck! And if you ever find out what happened, do post it here. I’d like to know how you resolved it as well.
