[no subject]

I usually don't bother to call earthlink about the outage. Really tired of the same old
scripted ?? step message and auto response email. Maybe one day I will get all my email
changed over to a new ISP and do a switch where I don't have to pay extra for static.

&gt; &gt; &gt; I transferred to speedfactory about a month ago, and it's been mostly

&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; I have been a little concerned that I've had outages during
&gt; &gt; &gt; thunderstorms when my power blinks.  I've got all the equipment on UPS,
&gt; &gt; &gt; but in the lightning storms we've had lately, there have been a couple
&gt; &gt; &gt; of times when it's taken 5-10 minutes for the DSL modem to reconnect.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Wierd.  I've got all my hardware behind ups's as well.  There's been
&gt; &gt; some nasty storms of late, but I've never had any weather related outages.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; You didn't have these problems prior to the move to Speedfactory?
&gt;
&gt; I have similar disruptions with my DSL from Speakeasy. If the atmosphere
&gt; is highly charged, the sync has a tendency to go out. I have tracked
&gt; this issue through 3 different DSL carriers (BellSouth, Speakeasy and
&gt; Eathlink). The SDSL connection would remain intact while the ADSL would
&gt; fail. Apparently, the ADSL sync is more fragile and disruptible than the
&gt; SDSL. Just as the higher frequency signal tends to bleed out of the low
&gt; quality twisted pair wires feeding my house, it seems that the broad
&gt; spectrum emissions from lightning can bleed in.
&gt;
&gt; I have an X10 device on my dsl modem and a cron job that pings my
&gt; upstream router. When I get no response, I reset the modem with the X10
&gt; power socket.
