My Internet is fast but it keeps dropping out, most of the time ill be playing minecraft or steam and it will drop out and not work but i can still go on internet explorer and use the web like nothing has happend. But minecraft and steam says they dont have connection, this happens alot. But sometimes the hole internet just drops out and takes ages to go back on. It drops out about 25 times a day.
