Voice and adsl line dead...again

[Jhbgirl]

Ours went down about 3 weeks ago and a technician came out and did something and it worked again and this evening the whole thing (phoneline and adsl connection) is dead dead.

Is there anything I can do to check things my side before I report it to telkom again?

What could be the causes?

Thanks any help appreciated.

You can check if you still have a phone line outside. Maybe someone needed the copper. Otherwise you can check if a Telkom techie forgot to plug your line into the Telkom boxie again
It's usually such a trivial problem but you know how it goes.

It's working again this morning. Weird. But I'm not complaining. Having had to use iBurst was horrible. I'm traumatised

not much you can do if the phone and dsl is dead. Just check that the cables are all still plugged in and that your dog didnt chew your wall jack
