Re: Everytime there is a thunderstorm, no DSL
Yes I have phone service that is not affected by thunderstorms. Since I have 7 Mbps, my understanding is that my connection can only come from the CO, correct?
Since DSL cables are buried in the ground I am having a hard time understanding why a thunderstorm and no power interruptions would cause a connection to drop... It's not like satelite which is very prone to interuptions with weather conditions.
PS Christcorp - I was raised and lived in Cheyenne for 30 years before moving to Colorado Springs. Damn sometimes I want to come back! But I have 7 mbps here where in Cheyenne I could only get 1.5. |

| Cheyenne misses you too. FWIW, you CAN have 7mb from a remote DSLAM if it's fed with a DS3. So, it doesn't have to be from the C.O. Also, just because the cable near your house is buried, doesn't mean it's buried all the way back. I have worked on way too many cables where it went from aerial to buried and back to aerial a number of times. Later... Mike... |
