Hah! That will teach me not to listen to automated messages.
I've been having trouble with my net connection lately, with intermittent losses of connection in the evenings. So, naturally, I called my ISP to complain, and got an automated message : Some people in the Wharton area may be having trouble connecting to the Internet. Our engineers are aware of this problem; there is currently no estimated time of repair." Now, I don't live in the Wharton area, but the name was really blurred so I mistook it for my area, and was pleased that someone was working on it. So I hung up.
But today I got so frustrated that I decided to call again and yell at someone. And, lo and behold, the message is gone - but my problems are still there. "Oops," said I to myself. After about five minutes of really bad hold music (I think it was the CEO's daughter plucking random guitar strings, at least that's what it sounded like) I got through to a human, who, "changed the settings to stabilise the packets." I think. And now it works much better! Yay for humans!
Of course, now I've posted this it'll likely go down the tubes again. *Touches wood.*

If its DSL, it seems like you're pretty far out and they just stuck a cap on your line so as to boost low frequency signal power.
