Re: what would cause me to go though dsl modems

modem and router are on a APC
the fuse keeps popping on the phone line side of modem
the modem powers up fine except it will not sync up to the dsl network at all until i replace the fuse. I do have a newer network interface box outside that is grounded to the outside faucet.

I'd sure re-check the ground and make 100% sure it tests as grounded and not as an open circuit. There is an epidemic of installs that are truly not grounded.
