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.<br>
