I found that when I'm dealing with a technical issue on POTS, I get the best results by personally visiting my CO and hoping a nice person answers when I ring the bell. For example, I finally got my DSL to work through this approach: it was up and down often, apparently related to ambient outdoor temperature. I got to know the (then US west, now qwest) DSL tech who handled that CO and worked with him directly to resolve the issue. When he could see that he'd need to spend more than just a few minutes on a job, he'd take my phone number and tell me to call the 800-number service people. When they generated the work request and he received it, he'd call me directly to find out what the real problem is and get it addressed. So what I'm getting at is that you might find it advantageous to at least try talking with techs in your particular CO. They're much more likely to understand what you're asking about and to know the answer than a 800-number support rep. Just make sure you're nice and avoid taking more than just a few minutes of their time.
