isp's don't like you using all of that bandwidth on torrents.
Probably not the right wording but I'm no pro.

Symptoms/Information:
All devices (WiFi and wired) are connected to modem and WiFi signal is strong.
Devices disconnect intermittently or lose Internet - Androids say "will connect when network quality improves" (even though signal strength is still strong).
Wired devices are obviously more likely to remain
connected during the intermittent problems but they might as well be on dial-up.
A lot of the time when I am connected, the Internet is
**** (like I said might as well be back in the dark ages - Netflix is stuck at 25% forever, uTorrent won't download more then 100 kb/s).
ISP is Telus with the 25 mb/s plan and the modem is ADSL.
It wasn't always this way - Internet used to be fine - 3 MB/s downloads and 2 MB/s uploads, HDTV streamed effortlessly, etc.
Modem has been switched out for a newer model by a Telus tech but unfortunately that's all he did.
LCP and IPCP are frequently down (I believe this to be the primary symptom/problem).
I did a little research and it sounds like this problem is external of the modem. Based on my findings I think the problem is either: the telephone cords, the "test socket" which I think means telephone jack in the wall, or the filters (which I think is by the fuse box).
Speed test results: download is 4-4.5 mb/s upload is 0.1-0.2 mb/s and ping is 1 ms. Chicago server (fastest ping) is being used for speed test.
^^^ This download speed is far greater than the implied one given the previous information on uTorrent, Netflix, and basically any other download lol
When I ping Google I get a lot of request time outs.
Please help!!! ='(
