Phone

Wasn't one of my first posts on this forum about rewiring the phone system throughout the entire house? I believe it was; back in January of 2007. Yesterday there was a guy from Altel and another from Windstream outside for a good hour, monkeying around with the lines from pole to house, culminating in the removal and replacement of the terminal box that hung on the side of our house. Said it looked like "original equipment," and that was most likely the problem. Yeah, if the house was built in 1923 and that box was original equipment... (I am kidding.) The crackling on the line that came back every time it rained is gone (for now). I'm hoping for better connect speeds on dialup too, but that doesn't seem to have happened yet.
