Now, the internet we have is from comcast, which says speeds up to 12mbps, which means half of what i'm getting at most, so am i just lucky to get that, or am I confused on somthing?

My modem (connected to my wireless router) keeps going in and out. for example, when you turn it on it loads 1 step at a time, then stays on till i turn it off, but recently, it just starts over the loading process seemingly at random.

1 AnswerComputer Networking1 decade agoPhone Battery Dying Fast - Krzr Phone (Motorola)?
I'm trying to fix an issue
I have a Krzr (Motorola) and its battery dies VERY fast. I charge it, and it finishes, but when i use it for just a few minutes, it dies very quickly. I have an idea as to why it could be though, i dropped it a while back and it cracked all over the front, now normally this wouldnt matter for this situation, but the front of the phone is touch sensitive, so im wondering, is the cracked front causing the touch sensitive bottons to be constantly pushed? P.S. my screen randomly lights up, which is what caused my initial suspision.
Thanks a ton for ANY and ALL help.
