Orange Broadband is Wannadoo who were formerly Freeserve.

Before jumping ship find out if you connection problem is due to the line, your modem or your PC.

In general PCs connected to USB Broadband modems give more trouble than those connected via ethernet modem-routers.

I agree with Trident, junk the modem theyre cr@p install a router and set it up properly, but first make sure youve fitted filters to all phone equipment including Sky boxes which are usually forgotten about.

I'm with orange which used to be wanadoo, and i have'nt had any problems for over two years.

I'm also with orange and have only had one problem, and that had nothing to do with orange (local telephone exchange thingy got flooded and wipeout the broadband for the whole street)
