Our faith in technology may be over-rated. One Chicago-area woman's landline phone service would wash out every time it rained. Her phone provider tried many quick fixes but the problem was not solved until it rerouted the customer's line.
I thought this was so weird. Water must have been getting into the switch boxes?
We get something similar. We don't completely lose service, but it becomes nearly unusable because we get incredibly loud static. It took weeks last spring before the phone company fixed the problem. I have cell service, so it wasn't THAT much of an issue. But in an emergency, I want my phone! Add to that the face that my cell phone keeps getting up and walking away. Okay, I'm forgetful...lol
Glad the phone company fixed your problem, boons. Meanwhile you might consider putting a leash on that cellphone -- or at least training it to come when you whistle. ;)
