Some previous details here about our DSL line:http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=49&topicid=135101&page_no=3#1046422Long story short we were lucky to get it connected, however we have lost the connection twice this year (no DSL signal). First time it happened was around March because someone else in the area decided to sign up for broadband, and a rookie Chorus guy gave them our line because there were no spare lines and ours didn't have a dial tone (we have naked broadband), that's what I was told by the Chorus guy who reconnected it after I logged the fault through Vodafone.We lost the line again recently last week and it was reconnected again after logging another fault through Vodafone, I don't know if it was the same problem again as this time the Chorus guy I spoke to wasn't the one who reconnected it and didnt know what caused the problem, it was someone else who reconnected it, but i'm assuming its probably the same reason as before.We don't turn off the modem, its left on 24/7. Sync rate is just over 10mbits adsl2, there's no other problems i'm aware of, no intermittent drop outs. Just all of a sudden on both these occasions one day we have dsl then the next day there's nothing, no dsl signal and its a call to Vodafone to get reconnected.If this is an incompetence issue (Junior techs at Chorus taking our line) Is there anything that can be done about this to stop this happening again? We share this connection out via wifi to other local residents in the area who can't get broadband due to lack of lines, plus this is also our holiday house and the wifi is often used by our guest. We also run a sure signal as there's also absolutely no cell phone reception here on any of the networks, so we are all very reliant on this dsl connection when staying here.
