On two occasions now I have lost phone connection while maintained
broadband due to a very poor connection while BT were fiddling down the

The broadband attenuation did go through the roof tho'.

I've seen them die in either order. My parents had a tree
wear through the overhead line, and in that case the broadband
died about 2 days before the voice part did. But I've also had
loss of DC voltage on the line and the phone apparently dead
whilst the broadband continued just fine.
