Be glad, be very glad. Be patient, give it time, and be glad.

I can't get them to do ANYTHING but call me on sunny days and ask if everything is good because the tests look good right now (not the mant office, but the tech support people).

I wouldn't think that is lieing though. POTS is so tolerant of rain and things that it is hard to trace. But bottom line; it is a copper problem. The flip side though is a longer and frustrating wait having the broadband side get the request to the ILEC tech to get a fix on it.

All you can do is keep on letting VOL know whats going on.

Good luck :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-connectivity-RAIN-13597051 Tue, 07 Jun 2005 08:48:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-connectivity-RAIN-13597026 said by JAAulde:

I understand this is a copper issue--believe me, I do. But I am not willing to call the voice side and lie about problems I am not having just to get them to do what I want.
What do you want? I'm assuming that you want the obvious issue with the telephone line between your modem and the DSLAM fixed. That my friend will be repaired by the local repair people. Call repair and tell them that you have line issues when it rains and demand that they send a technician to your house, with the understanding that you will have to pay if it's not their issue. Schedule an appointment when you are home to speak with the repair person. If you don't want to go that route, order a second line, put DSL on it, and then cancel the DSL on the current line. Do something!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-connectivity-RAIN-13597026 Tue, 07 Jun 2005 08:44:07 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-connectivity-RAIN-13596870 said by Slidetbone:

Has anyone here called directly to the ILEC about this? I have never called VZ Voice because I never had a voice issue. I understand this is a copper issue--believe me, I do. But I am not willing to call the voice side and lie about problems I am not having just to get them to do what I want.

I know it sounds stupid, bit that seems dishonest to me and I won't compromise my integrity for something like broadband Internet.

Now, during the storm yesterday while I was on the phone for an hour, I did notice some crackling when lightning would flash, so if VOL doesn't get t right I may call Voice and explain what has been happening.

But here's the catch--I have already had a local CO tech at my house for this issue once. The local CO guys ARE from the voice side--all they do is copper. So what are my chances of getting it fixed by calling their voice side if they have already sent a guy out there who did nothing?

If you know when it rains the DSL slows down and you know it is not due to moisture in the NID, do not call the DSL tech support group. These guys only deal with DSL. When they suspect an outage is caused by bad copper, they pass it on to Verizon (ILEC). See?

Why not call DSL TS? Because if is is not raining, the DSL works good, right? So you can be assured that it is not the DSL circuit that is at fault.

Bypass DSL TS and call directly to the ILEC. POTS service ALWAYS has a priority over anything the telco offers including DSL. You could tell them that you have DSL, but there is no need for that.

Bottom line is that the slowdown in the rain is definately a copper or leaky demarc issue.

In this case, DSL TS is a middleman.
Get the copper fixed first, then deal later with the DSL TS guys if there are other problems related to DSL.

running 10s outbound test (client to server) . . . . . 43.56Kb/s
running 10s inbound test (server to client) . . . . . . 22.49Kb/s

After the storms passed,I tested again a few times and repeatedly got approx the following results at about 11:45 PM:

running 10s outbound test (client to server) . . . . . 693.57Kb/s
running 10s inbound test (server to client) . . . . . . 1.74Mb/s

I power cycled my modem and a minute or so later, this is what I tested (which is what I usually get):

running 10s outbound test (client to server) . . . . . 718.66Kb/s
running 10s inbound test (server to client) . . . . . . 2.81Mb/s

It's been solid at that speed for the past couple of hours. Right now I'm getting an NNTP D/L speed of 2900+ Kbps.

I also noticed that BBR was offline at about 11:30 for an extended period. I think the t'storms raised some hell around here. I'd say that violent weather certainly has an effect on speed and the ability of the modem to sync properly.

I notice the same thing like right now there is a major thunder storm and my modem will not synch at all is that normal ? Lol freaking phone lines c'mon. im on dial up right now
No, its not normal, it means water is getting in contact with the copper somewhere causing problems.
