Wind won't affect me here, as its all buried. I have had issues in the past, all between the house and the cross connect next to the VRAD. First year of DSL on AT&T 'express' was good. Second year of DSL on DSL-Extreme pro was good (better ;) ) Third year was where the issues started... I ended up having intermittent noise on the line causing sync issues (would be clean, then CRC errors and loss of sync for ~ 30 minutes), however it would happen infrequently. Later during the year, SCE's 16kV line melted all the wires on my block (yeah - I have a piece of melted wire as proof). After they reinstalled all new wires, service was good again... for a while. Next year, similar to prior issues started ... ~ 1pm daily, I'd lose sync for ~15 minutes. AT&T downgraded me to 1984/512kbps as they stated I was too far from the CO. Lots of CRC errors still occurred during that time, but no sync drop. Finally, AT&T's Uverse crew was in the area - few minor issues with their contractors cutting my line completely, but 'finally' there's little to no CRC errors. I.E. They had to fix the 'water in the lines' issue to have working Uverse. TV service is less tolerant than an ADSL Internet service.
I'm at +10,000' according to AT&T, and they will not sell anything but 1500/384kbps to me :p most likely because of the complaints I've given their techs in the past.
