Re: Frustration POTS is pretty much mandatory (by decree of the head of the household), so it isn't going anywhere.
Bursts of static on the POTS side of the line (or the line in general) are causing me to be disconnected at irregular intervals. I assume there's pretty much nothing to be done about this except wait for AT&T to deem it bad enough to replace the lines? |

I agree, Vdsl and IPDSLAM (VDSL/vdsl2/vdsl2+/adsl2/adsl2+) gets more bits per channel so achieving 3008/512 or even 3008/1024 is easier to do at longer ranges.
I wouldn't be surprised as DSL grows and vectoring becomes popular if you can achieve more bits per channel over time. Who knows it's entirely possible our version of DOCSIS 3.0 is still yet to come.
Can't help them (or any DSL provider) for trying.

It may not be coming from the lines.
When you have POTS you are connected to different switching equipment which includes banks of batteries which are generally in the same room as mechanical equipment ( such as air pumps ect..) and line noise creeps in. |

If the bursts of static are there when the modem is off and it's present at the nid/Sni (or if you have line backer/line protection) you can file a report for free on the phone service only at
»www.att.com/repair
pretty much the nuts and bolts is, if the intermittent static is at the nid/sni with...
1.) the DSL modem not on/connected..
2.) common phone plugged into the test jack at the nid/sni..
you can pretty much determine right there if you will see a field tech charge or not. If the problem happens with a Yes on the 2 conditions above (linebacker/protection or not) it would still be repairable as it's happening at the common interface point. It still has to be good to that point.
they still have to advise of possible charges (they all have to), but it doesn't guarantee that says "YES YOU WILL BE BILLED". If you have line backer and such there would be very little you would be charged for left.
