DSL Hell

For days my DSL has been vexing me, cutting out a few times an hour! I've plugged and replugged and coiled and uncoiled cable. Nothing worked and I almost resorted to calling the help line so that they could tell me nothing was wrong. Until I tried reversing which end of the phone cable goes into the wall jack and which goes into the extender cable that reaches set-up.

And that seems to have worked.
