Need advice on improving connection issues with my service

I’ve been experiencing inconsistent speeds and frequent dropouts with my current DSL internet service. It’s becoming frustrating, especially during important online meetings. I’m wondering if anyone else has faced similar issues and found effective solutions. Are there specific settings I should adjust on my modem, or could it be something with the wiring? Any tips on troubleshooting or improving DSL performance would be greatly appreciated. I’m not sure if it’s worth contacting my provider, or if there are steps I can take on my own.
