I have bought and fitted a new usb pci card (2.0) but it still cuts out. The broadband company I use said it was that the old ports couldn't handle the new 8 meg broadband. Its not the modem or the connection as it works fine on my laptop and the computer that has the problem was fine with 512k broadband from the same provider.

An ethernet (CAT5) cable is much faster to use, and it will fix your problem because it has its own ethernet jack. (For broadband using ethernet jac you can get speeds over 120 MB\sec. With USB not more likely to get more then 100 MB\sec although this may not seem like much its a huge difference espically when downloading large files or running complex files via internet. An ethernet cable looks like a large phone wire and is normally yellow or blue but you may find it in an assortment of colors.

Check your phone junction box that the filter plugs into, because of wear n tear over the years the terminals inside get worn and can kind of short without you knowing, try this, take the front cover off your phone junction box, then plug your filter directly into the socket that is behind the cover, try it for a couple of days if it dont go off get bt of whoever you got phone account to come and change the box, or buy a diy kit. it worked for me not gone offline since

Why aren't you using a CAT5 cable? USB is much slower than a straight CAT5 connection (the fat telephone-looking plug).
You might fix issues by changing to the CAT5.
