Re: Rain??? or Lightning?
I would agree with this. While my DSL does seem to be effected by just rain, it is *definitely* much more effected when it's a thunderstorm. I've been surprised my DSL is not dropping much on the occasional rainy day, then realized there's no lightening...

I wish providers would implement some sort of script that watches uptime. If it's noticed that a line is constantly dropping and re-syncing, automatically place the line into 'safe mode' for, say, an hour. Then re-provision it back to normal...and watch again. Such automatic drops to safe mode could very much help the disconnects, allow a user to still use their connection, and lower support calls/tickets...

I've tried to ignore FIOS and stick with my DSL line but between these rain/lightening drops and now random disconnects in the evening, I'm gonna bag SE and this antiquated DSL crap and just give in to the VZ behemoth soon.
