I have the DSL service through Verizon. Every time there is lightning in the area, the DSL connection resets. The modem then takes about a minute or so to re-establish the DSL connection and all is happy ... (until the next lightning during the dark and stormy night, that is.)
Has anyone else experienced this with their DSL line? Any educated guesses as to if the problem is on my side of the box (NID, I believe it is called) or the phone company side? The Phone Co. side is not all that old since verizon re-did the copper wiring in the area about 5-6 years ago. My side has a cat-5 cable running on the outside of the house for a fair bit (30-40 feet) before entering the house. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
