Most likely the ISP, but may be the phone lines between your computer and the
ISP. If you know anything about interior phone wiring, then check and/or
replace the lines between your computer and your demarkation box. (thats the
box between the phone company's property and yours) If that doesn't help, then
ask someone at the ISP. They'll deny any fault, and probably blame your phone
company, but the problem may go away.
