As you can see “Super Frame Errors” and “RS Uncorrectable Errors” are the two most important thing in a DSL service. If those two numbers get really high, it is not a good sign, you will probably see high latency, packet loss, cannot browse at all or intermittent connection.
Other things that can happen is that your profile will not be at what it should be, mine was 6016, but because of the problem it is at 5024 and it get lower if the line get worse.
Why do I get this problem and how do I fix it:
Check you Dmark inside or outside the house and see if there isnt any corrosion on the wires. If it is outside the house, normally it should be free of charge, if it is inside, it’s really easy to fix it, it’s just copper wires nothing else.
Check your phone jack and telephone cable. Simple, no?
Call you ISP asap to check up on your connection, ask them to see the “lantern”. The lantern is a tool that ISPs have to check on people’s adsl line, they can see block counts, the profile, the sync, and problems on the line (but some ISP don’t have this option if they are a reseller).
If a tech comes by your house and blames the modem, (which every freaking tech does, surprise them) bring another out and show him it does the same thing and tell him it is the line, not the hardware. (But sometimes in rare cases it is the modem that is faulty, so best to have a few, buy them or find them)
In special cases like mine, this happens once a blue moon, Bell-Nexxia (who are in charge of the dsl lines), can’t fix the problem because they don’t see a problem when they come over to check my line. Why? because my intermittent issue somehow disappeared…
How can I get these readings:
It will depend on the modem you have, some have this option, some don’t. When you don’t have these reading, call your ISP to find out.

And this after a few hours, my line became stable again once more.
Fucking hate Bell….
Hope this help people who got DSL service.

And at the same time, been working on my dedicated server for L4D, my god, 3 hours or work to make it work…..stupid piece of shit!!! GAHHH
Today:
Just posted this after I finished fixing my server which got infected with a few viruses… oh well. Fixed now ehe .
And now, time for bed time!
