In case no one caught my previous post on this, a

Thank you!
I suspect Michael Sokolov is testing this out for
me, his name servers =
(and thus email) have been down a few hours.
Do you really think that I, after having earned the trust of my circle of
friends (who all have accounts on my various servers, and use and depend on
various services hosted at my data centre) as a competent, reliable and
trustworthy professional system and network administrator for our Circle,
would deliberately shut it down, screwing all our users?! There must be
something seriously wrong with your thinking if you indeed thought so. DSLAM and the CPE to sync up. So the problem detected
by TDR, which they
dispatched a local telco tech to fix, was NOT an open, but something else.
I very strongly suspect foul play.

Wow, you are paranoid. It was more likely that some other
tech ( while trying to find another clean line to fix
a complain about noise ) accidentally bent a wire to cross
your line at one of the junction boxes. This kind of thing
happens regularly ( about every 6 months or so ) to my home
line because I live in an area with a lot of noisy line ( water
in cable ).
Why does everything that happens need to be a conspiracy.
Clumsy techs are much more common than sneaky people. If someone
was actually doing what you suggest, they would most likely have
done a better job. If it wasn't working for you, it most likely
wasn't working for them either.
