said by Splitpair:said by nwrickert:From your description, I suspect that part of the line connecting you to the CO is aerial, and is acting as an antenna and picking up the noise from the thunderstorm.
Na most of the effect that an indirect lightning hit has on Telco cables is inductive which affect aerial as well as buried cables. The problem comes in where the bonding of the cable opens (most commonly at splices) rendering the sheath ineffective in it’s ability to isolate the pairs within from the effects of inductance.
FWIW those are the same bonding problems that cause the loss of synch in the evenings troubles only instead of lightning being the cause its power influence from the increased load on the single phase electrical distribution commonly used in residential areas. PI is something that I have been preaching about for years and is now finally being discovered by the masses in the OSP world.

I am not 100 sure I understand it. But I assume, if you are right, there is noting I can do, correct?
