I'd check with Verizon (or whoever your phone carrier is). If you have an "inside wiring" contract, they should fix it for you free. I suspect you have some exposed wiring somewhere - probably outside the house, maybe on a TNI (Telephone Network Interface), but it CAN happen inside walls and basements too. I would suspect moisture is grounding out your phone signals, though moisture between lines (e.g. a power cable and a phone line) can also introduce enough interference to royally screw up DSL. If you ever notice static or hum on your line, your wiring might be in generally bad shape.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

There was one big storm last week that screwed up my DSL and made it disconnect after every time someone called and the light would turn red from time to time. It seems to be better now. If I were you, I would call verizon. Theyll send someone over to look at it and hell have an extra modem just incase. The customer service is suprisingly good.
