Strange ADSL problem

I have exactly the same problem since ADSL was installed in my new address. The ADSL connection is activated after about 40 seconds into a call. I use 0800375375 a lot to connect to my dialup ADSL line. The funny thing is that the Telkom(*spit*) technician removed a coil from my splitter and the line is slightly more stable (only resets 7 times a day now) and he claims to have identified a fault in the line impedance which he will fix tomorrow (hopefully).

Long live Telkom toll-free numbers!
 
A short on the line does the same me thinks. My line at home is messed up again with phones giving a intermittent ring when ringing. ie getting a
-beep beep - beep silence- silence beep- ring when it rains(not a good sign since we have a temp wire from the pillar to pole due to builders nxt door destroying previous underground one)

Hi

I have the same problem but I don't have a phone connected to the line nor do I have a alarm connected to the line, just use it for data. My Connection drops about every 20 to 30 min and remains dead for about 10 seconds. The House did not have a line so everything is new, any suggestions? Router is a VKom you get from Mweb and worked fine at the previous house.
