  I am in agony. Everytime I connect to the internet, it will disconnect me automatically after a few minutes. This is so frustrating.

  did you put filters in all the phones in your house? those with the same line?
  
  if you don't, each time a phonecall comes in, it'll be disconnected...

  You most probably have a faulty micro filter. Just get a good one from sim lim square.

  the system u using also have difference. If u using AMD, it is better that you get an ethernet card as the USB modem is not very compitable with the AMD system..

  Had this problem before.
  
  But only like once a month.
  
  I think it's a line problem.

  hmm...
  1stly, is ur pc Pentium or AMD?
  cos for broadband hor...
  there's this vital thing called Intel Chipset.
  u go Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager.
  then scroll all the way down to USB ports, expand it n c if urs have the Intel word in the expanded directory of the USB ports.
  
  VIA chipset, SIS chipset etc r deemed 50% compatible wif broadband which means c u heng or suay liaoz...
  if urs is Intel chipset, then it's either the microfilter problem or ur line problem.
  
  post here if u need more help.
