No problem here. The storms have been very localized. For example yesterday afternoon it was hailing in Maplewood but not in Livingston. |

My wife told me at one point last night that she wasn't getting a dial tone. I picked up another phone and got one. This has happened before and I always assume it was a "circuits too busy" problem. |

Phone service often goes out during sustained periods of heavy rain because, according to the phone company, "the wires are wet." Another reason service on one of your house lines might go out is that, believe it or not, squirrels gnaw on the wires. |

Hmm, I guess this is a reason to prefer cable modem over DSL: both are not likely to go out at once.

No, Tom, but the squirrels can get your cable TV and cable model with one gnaw. Happened to me... |

My phones were working shortly after I posted this morning. |
