| Can lightning and
other adverse weather conditions affect my DSL line? |
|
Top |
| If it leaves your house
and it is in any way electrical, it can damage your equipment or even your
computer. Lightning may strike the phone lines and cause dangerous spikes
in the line. |

|
| Can surge protectors
be used to safeguard DSL equipment? |
|
Top |
| For all practical purposes,
yes. A surge protector that hooks up to your phone line like the ones sold
for analog modems should work fine. Also, the line to your computer should
also have protection to eliminate the possibility of frying you computer
and other peripherals. |

|
| Will my telephone
work if my DSL line goes down? |
|
Top |
| Most likely, yes. Your
telephone will probably be all right. It is possible that your DSL equipment
caused a failure. But, conversely if your telephone doesn’t work then it’s
a safe bet that your DSL service won’t be available either. Remember that
re-establishing your DSL connection might be as simple as rebooting your
system. |
