   I am on a wireless connection so anything is possible, but I have seen   
   them firewalling blocking my access to NNTP servers,where it is obvious   
   the data is being immediately blocked by firewall rule somewhere. They   
   frequently stall my connection right at the time a critical data transfer   
   is to be made or hijack my DNS lookups.  When I change my MAC address I   
   get the connection back. I have run multiple AV scans both online and off   
   using the top rated av scanners and I find nothing, but it's possible I   
   could be trojaned by corrupt OS files. I have not had these problems with   
   other ISPs, only Globe Philippines. The router is very flaky and pings to   
   public DNS servers are up one minute and down the next.   
      
   Would running a IDS program help trace the cause of these interferences?   
   Snort or other?
