Hi! I got connected via DSL about a week ago and ever since the conection has been unstable. Sometimes it works for hours without interruption, and sometimes disconnects every 15 minutes. I suspect it is worse during peak hours.

In the logs every incident starts with xDSL: XTM link down followed by xDSL: link up, Connection Type: PTM, Speed: RX:111214 / TX:30542 (Kbps) two minutes later (+-10 seconds). Please see a full excerpt of one incident below.

I tried several DSL cables and resetting the modem to factory settings, but it didn't help.

Hello @NeKpoT 

Is the modem directly connected to the main KPN ISRA where the KPN cable is also connected or is it connected to another connection point in your house?

Hi @Waqqas,

I coudn’t find the ISRA, so it’s connected to an outlet in the living room. There are TV and radio connections right next to it though, so maybe it’s not just any connection point.

Can you share pictures of the wall outlet and your fusebox? Maybe there's an ISRA in your fusebox?

@Waqqas 

I don’t see any phone connections in the fusebox. Here are the photos

I cannot see an ISRA but the outlet on the last photo is not the original ISRA. It's any of these :

Do you have a crawling area? Maybe you'll see the blue KPN cable there.

Unscrewing the outlet reveals 2 blue cables going somewhere into the wall. If there is a crawl space, I don't have an easy way to access it. I’m trying to get an answer from my landlord, but they aren't helpful so far. Can we try some other approaches in the meantime?

Disconnect frequency changes through the day, peaking in the evening and dropping to almost none at night. This suggests it depends on network load, not just some wires loosing contact.

Also, I'm surprised that every time the connection comes back almost exactly 2 minutes later, both when the internet goes down and when I unplug it myself. It seems artifitial, maybe you know a modem setting that controls it (I have Zyxel T-54)? Would be much more bearable if it were shorter.

Because you have 2 cables behind the outlet there is a bridge tap in your network. You are supposed to only have the incoming KPN cable connected.

I think it is better that a moderator can send a technician to locate the original KPN cable, connect the modem there and remove the other cable.
