Bad time of year for DSL
My ADSL service from SBC has been a love/hate relationship. Everytime I want to like having my service, I get the dreaded sync loss...total loss of my connection. Happened around the same time last year. While this bout of sync loss hasn't been that long, it's keeps happening.
In the past, I've tried to track down causes for this loss. In the end, it's just the fact that I have an extremely long line. DSL don't like to travel down long lines. There isn't any chance of that line getting any shorter anytime soon either.
Unfortunatly, when I signed back up with SBC this year, I got in with a one year contract. So, it looks like I'm stuckwith 5 more months of a shoody connection until I can turn to other alternatives.
Who know. Maybe SBC will roll out a remote terminal or some fiber in the next few months. HA!
