Basic electronic equipment - like ADSL modems - invariably have little protection to surges and even small ones can cumulatively degrade performance. >From many years of observing one very popular broadband forum there were *always* people complaining immediately after storms in every ISP's individual forum. When you took a broader look at the complaints at a regional level you could then see the pattern, and the subsequent dissatisfaction with things until - magically - replacing the ADSL modem seemed to fix all issues. As I said before, good business for the modem manufacturers who sell the replacements and maybe also those who also sell protection devices for the incoming phone line (which aren't common in Australia). -- Regards, David.
