DG wroteAnyone here experienced the following problem ?
First of all, let me say this is the first time it happens to me. My modem is connected to a brand new UPS.
At around 2:00 pm the power went out. The instant the power was cut... my DSL and Internet modem lights went off. Both the PC and the modem were still powered ON.
After 30 seconds or so... DSL and Internet leds came back on.
I then checked by unplugging my UPS from the wall outlet a couple of times for 5 seconds and everything was fine: no loss of connection or power at all.
I am asking here to see what you guys think. Could it be at my end or probably a loss of power at the CO or somewhere else on the telephone network.
From what I remember, if the phone line is near an electric cable, the inductive kick when the electricity comes back on from poor power factor devices (starting a water pump etc) is enough to induce current on the phone line, so in that instance the phone line is significantly energised enough to saturate the signal depending on the attenuation, although ADSL works in phantom power filteration. Mine used to happen only when "Ishterak" comes on, phone line on the same pole istherak cable is mounted on.
