A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

DSL is just as capable of this as fiber optic. As long as both ends of the connection have power, your comms are fine, as you noticed in the early days.
My guess is that your more recent DSL service relied on a loop extender located near enough to your home that it was affected by local power outages.
