Dunno if it's the humidity of some such cause, but I've been suffering
noisy phone lines for about a week. It make it difficult to hear the other
party on the line, and worse still, you can well imagine what this does to
the Internet connectivity. Last night, I had to re-dail a little over 50
times to stay connected over four hours.
(Fortunately, I have a fixed-rate phone line, and pay approx Rs 555 per
month regardless of the number of calls made to Internet-only numbers.
But you can imagine the kind of work dislocation this results in.)
If you have a noisy phone line, telling it to the local exchange sometimes
doesn't help, as they probably don't fully appreciate how badly Internet
access gets affected by a slightly-noisy line. Maybe you can talk to
senior officials, who sometimes can help rectify the solution. Local
linesmen always pass away the subject, saying they have insufficient
"pairs" (whatever that means!).
While on this point, how many users of the Internet in Saligao have noisy
lines, and what is the best way to correct the situation? FN
