2007 and still internet trouble?

That could very well be your router. I have that same problem and it comes from the fact that when I try to download a big file from Bittorrent my router gets hung up. My friend who also has a netgear router says it happens to his, and is fairly common.

It basically come down to if the feed to your house is fine, it has to be a hardware problem.
