Really?
Does it get better when the weather improves too? Ooh, it's a sunny
day - 2Mbps upstream!

I suspect what they mean is there are improperly sealed joints in the
cabling between you and the exchange, and water is getting in. This is
poor maintenance, not a problem with ADSL per ce.

Anyway, you shouldn't have to just put up with it. It shouldn't
happen. Complain, complain, and demand a fix. Report a fault every
time it goes down. That should get you some attention.
