Re: Home repair?
What is the modem model? Some modems have info that can help diagnose inside wiring problems.
I'm pretty sure that an inside wiring insurance plan only covers POTS-type problems and not those specific to DSL. However, there are some POTS problems that also cause DSL problems. If you had a phone problem due to something in your inside wiring, fixing that might also fix the DSL. |

Yeah I was afraid of that. The phone works ok most of the time (I do get occasional crackling) but when they test it, they hear no noise on the line and see the DSL is working so they won't look at anything that might be under the house or in the roof. I don't even know how it's wired. From the box outside it goes in somewhere in the roof (I assume) and then comes up from underneath the house.
I know that I am around 22000 feet from my CO also, but that wouldn't have anything to do with losing synch would it? I just get really slow speeds.
Another reason I highly suspect inside wiring somewhere is the fact that I have a filter, yet picking up the phone to get a dial tone makes the modem synch back on. This tells me it is probably a high open problem. |
