I have been getting intermittent outages for about 18 hours now here in Oakland, CA on my Uverse DSL connection. I've rebooted and checked lines; right now it's working fine with the usual speeds I get. It apparently started last night (noticed errors on DVR but thought it was Tivo; turns out probably internet access). This AM on for a while, then quit.
Contacted tech support by phone; after they did something it was up again. But hour or so later, dropped off again, then on again. Speedtest shows normal speeds. Ran a diagnostic from the 2Wire box but of course I have no idea what the results mean, but it's up and running now.
One question I have, in addition to why it's happening, is whether there is anything I could do on one of my computers to cause this. Or if attempts to access my LAN from outside would cause it (I have a static IP, and I use the 2Wire in DMZ mode with wifi off so that it passes everything through to an Airport Extreme.
thanks
