Telstra... May... Not... Be... At... Fault...

Um.

You know how in scientific experiments, and debugging computer programs, and generally when trying to work out what's wrong, you try to arrange things so that you only change one factor at a time, so that you can determine exactly what it was that caused the problem or effect that is under study?

Well, if you both (a) had your phone line disconnected because you forgot to pay your bill and (b) kicked the cord out of the line splitter so that your modem was no longer connected to anything, this doesn't work too well.

Which leaves me in the very curious position of having to apologise for something I said about Telstra.

Yes, the young lady on the phone was correct. My ADSL came back up. The continuing problems were entirely my fault.

[There, that wasn't so painful. — Ed.]

I need a better line splitter that doesn't fall apart whenever I look at it. Or failing that, some electrical tape.
