Any NOC that ignores this when *I'm* calling in will get calls up their 
supervisor line.  If I have done nothing to my machine in the last 24 hours, it 
is less likely to be my machine than something in their network, which covers 
much more area and is subject to many more hazards.

I had just such a problem when the sprinkler guys cut my phone line.  The phone 
Co tech reconnected it enough to get phone service, but not the DSL.  Everything 
had been working fine before the cut, and no DSL after the tech repaired the 
line.  Ergo, the tech did not restore DSL service.
