Problems caused by line quality
If you made changes to the registry via the Speedcorp Tweak utility and are still having connection problems, there are a couple of other options that you can investigate on your end.
Your DSL connection is only as good as the quality of your phone line. In other words, your DSL connection speed may be impaired if the telephone wiring inside or outside your house isn't in good shape.
DSL technology relies on the existing copper wires of your telephone line to create a high-speed digital connection. Your telephone line has the capability to carry a wide range of frequencies in the sound spectrum. Since voice conversations occur in the lower frequencies and data communications occur in the higher frequencies, the same line can be used for both types of communication without interference.
The point is that the higher frequency communications are susceptible to line interference that doesn't have any effect on the lower frequency communications. So you would never know that your line has a problem with DSL by comparing the quality of your voice communications. So, you might want to have the lines in your home tested.
