And it's still crap...

meanwhile, our landline is dead as a dodo, yet the broadband still works?
I thought it were all down the one wire. Mind, it's doing quite a lot of restarting, so I suspect there's something not quite right there.

The phone side needs a DC path to work, the broadband is carried at much higher frequencies and can "jump" small breaks in the cable that stop the DC required for the phone.
150 is residential faults. Probably take 'em a week...
