I dunno Borg, but Id I were loosing that many modems, I'd be thinking
electrical problem. A DSL line is just copper and carries 80 volts max in the US and that's
only wharn they're testing it normally it's much less. If there was enough voltage coming in
from the line to fry the modem consistently, they'd be able to catch it and block it comming
into the house.
If you're using an internal modem, consider switching to an external. If you're using an
external, consider putting it on a load-leveling ups. |
3 of my ADSL modems where external powered by USB only and through two different computers
with different serge protected plugs.
The two wireless ADSL modem routers where external with their own serge protected power
supply and only the ADSL side of them was effected.
No other ellectrical equipment has been effected.
Also the BT engineer has said that 3 DSL filters are fried and they are only connected to
the phone line.
My BT landline keeps going dead, and also I have dropped calls and clicking sounds.
During a period of 1 to 2 hours when my landline was dead with no dial tone from any socket
on a number of phones I phoned the BT operator on my cell phone for them to test the line
then and there and tell me that there was nothing wrong with the line, even though it was
dead and I had no dial tone!!
After all this I contacted NTL and for less than the price of my BT land line and 512k ADSL
they are going to give me a phone line, 750k cable broadband and 100 cable TV channels.
