My friend has troubles

My friend is having some troubles with his connectivity, mainly when it rains. Here is his stats from the F@st modem. I'm more 'up-to-date' with the older style 4200, so I can't specifically comment on it because of the newer modem.

What I had suggested was to run a dedicated line and use a NID filter. What do you all think? He is subscribed to the 6meg service. Here is a traceroute too:

If someone could let me know a course of action he should take, whether it be trying to test the signal levels at the NID or initiating technical support, let me know!

Thanks guys.

Tell him to listen for any noise on a phone voice line when it rains. If he can tell any change in his phone service, most states they have to fix it or give good reason why it will take longer.

Is the S/N and Atten you posted during rain or normal?

It very well could be an issue out on the cable. Maybe an animal chewed through the cable sheath, which is allowing water into the cable and causing a cross connect. It would be better to have your friend call in and have a technician come out and give everything a once over. It is possible he/she could cause some damage to the phone company equipment on the outside of the home running his own line. If this happens he would be responsible for repair costs, if a Telco tech comes out he could avoid that possibility.
