Actually the problem is with the exchange and the recent spate of
severe weather, lightening that hammers the communication lines, I
think the exchange itself has some severe problems, combined with bad
last mile phone cabling, Being a mountain region the exchange is
physically vulnerable to lightning strikes anywhere in the vicinity so
the SOP is to disconnect everything - both at the user end and believe
it or not even the exchange does the same - they physically disconnect
every thing at the drop of a hat.

Assuming that the problem is at my end - you suggest i should check
the splitter and also may be see if another router works, will see to
that, but am quite sure its the exchange because the land lines also
go on and off frequently.
