Not sure how all this works, was just wondering if that sounded like a valid reason or possible issue. Just from reading here & there I thought DSL lines even dryloop had numbers assigned to them. Maybe its ONE number for all dryloops & as you say a wire to DSLAM
All I care is that my internet works without issue & when an issue FIX ASAP
couple days with it dropping every minute or so isnt to bad I guess, could have been WITHOUT any access for 2 days.
