Hi All,
I am having an issue with my current internet provider's (CenturyLink) DSL service, in which multiple times per day I experience a signal dropoff (Connection Timeouts, Service is Not Available, etc...) while either using my laptop, gaming console, or handheld devices. My ISP stated that I would have a great connection speed ~40Mbps (their TV ads state the speed is 40MBps, which is misleading).
With the above being mentioned, I have a few questions:
1) Does an End-User Signal Booster exist for consumer use?
2) If not then is it possible to design and build an end-user Signal Booster (Noise Filter and Gain Amp) for DSL?
3) if the above question is yes then is there a specific frequency range (kHz or MHz) that I need to concentrate on?
Opinions, thoughts, tips are welcome

According to Wikipedia, DSL is in the 4kHz-4MHz frequency range so it doesn't interfere with voice traffic over telephone lines and in chunks of 4312.5Hz between 10Hz and 100kHz.
