Same kind of connection here. No soldering, from tree to some poles with connected wires like an wild hair piece, a lot of line noise and thunderstorms every day in the rainy season. The place where I live is known as the number one place in the world with the most lightning per year. This should fry every season some sixty to hundred modems but mine has been spared. Have some anti lightning wallplug for the telephone line. Perhaps that helps ;-)
2 years ago i forgot to unplug my laptop and had my pwoersupply fried ..
bnut that situation may explain why you get disconnected. listen to the noise level when such disconnects happen and compare the situation to calm clear weather days
here i got broad band a few weeks ago and all such troubles are gone at least in one of my several island locations i love to work here
another problem i encounter frequently when using major dial up ISP here - their share of SW sometimes is faulty and shows my account is empty while a verification shows plenty of hours. hence i get a disconnect with pppd error 19 for no reason ... sometimes days then suddenly all fine again
dispite all i love it here :-)
