Late last week, I saw a Verizon van across the street. I’m assuming the people who moved in down the block had their phone service connected.

Tuesday was windy here. Every time we’d get a big gust of wind, my dsl connection would drop out. For the past 2 days, my dsl connection had been dropping out every 2 – 15 minutes. A speed test last night showed a speed of 175k.

I got through to somebody at Verizon this morning, and since then, no drops. My Downstream margin has gone from 4.5 – 9dB before the call to 13.5-15.5dB after the call. A speed test this morning shows a speed of 2776k. They’re also sending a tech out on Tuesday.

Hopefully, this takes care of the problem(s).
