Phone is working, ADSL is not.

Hi All

After one power shedding a long time ago, I suddenly found my router dropping sync as soon it synced to line and/or began dialling to ISP.

I checked filter - not faulty.
I checked router - not faulty. Different brand-new router also did not sync to line at all.
I even plugged into different plug - nothing.
Asked for port reset - no result.

Every time it drops line router shows following message:

Could you please tell me what's going on?

It means the Telkom ACS server is configuring your router's sync rate. Tell Telkom that it is doing this. It means that their automatic sync rate "calculator" isn't working properly for your line, because there is likely a fault somewhere.

The problem is dead port at DSLAM.
