Now here's the interesting question.. Did the service actually 'right itself', OR did the line testing resolve the problem? A house we lived in a few years ago, our ADSL sync would drop from 9mbps to 4-5mbps like clockwork, if we had more than three hours of continuous rain. A call to telstra saying there was crackling on the line, and 5 minutes on hold while they ran a line test, and voila, the crackle was gone and a retrain on the modem and it'd be back up to 9mbps.

The test scripting also performs (or tries to) a reset, and can in rare cases resolve a current issue, dont know if its in all cases now or just those of higher position (SS).<BR>
