said by NormanS :Do you have evidence of any voice line problems (assuming you don't have "dry loop" DSL)? In the past yes but as of now I no longer have a phone hooked up to it, if ATT made getting dry loops easier and offered there 6MB package with it I'd do that instead.
If the rain alters the line stats significantly, dropping back to 3MB service might alleviate some issues. I suppose you could get your line stats while it is raining, and when things are dry. Compare the difference.
On a nice sunny day my line of roughly 6K feet to a RT will hold my 6016/768 synce with avg stats of [SN Margin]= 14.5, [Line Attenuation] = Always 33.5 or 34, My CRC error rate is about 100/week. It will stay like this till really good rain and with in 5 mins of the rain starting my SN margin will drop from 14.5 (AVG) to 6, to 2, to no synce and will remain this way till it starts to dry up outside |
