    So, I dropped comcast internet because it was tooooo many issues in my area. Switched to suddenlink, which has the better connection here, but they only offer DSL. No biggie.

    DSL drops in and out for a minute at most, how do I correct this problem? Or is it even correctable?

    Got every thing hooked up yesterday, been doing it almost every hour, on the hour.

    Sounds like you should call the technician back to your house. He can test the lines.

    or call your isp and ask them do a "metal line test" which takes a minute or two.

    Do you have a home phone line? I had DSL years ago and you had to add filters to your phone lines or else your connection could be interrupted when someone makes a call.
