I'm talking to Xnet about it so they can take it up with Telecom, but I'm hoping it will come right once school starts back. Greven (91)
521624 2007-02-01 07:45:00 Does your phone line get noisy when this happens?

We had a dodgey line at our old place. Didn't have ADSL. Phone was fine until it rained and then all you could hear on the line would be static noise.
Turned out to be a dodgey join in the cable from the street to the house.

That's a good point. I'm sure I've never had any noise problems on rainy days before, but I'm not leaving the only warm room in the house to check it right now :p.
