I used to live in a rented house at Maraylya and every time it rained, same problem, a crackly phone line. No fix for it apparently, except wait for it to ‘dry out’, which it always did.
Lightning was a different problem – being on top of an iron-rich sandstone hill, we had lots of it – and the phone line went down with almost every storm. It must have been a well known problem, since the next day, almost without fail, out would come the poor technician to fiddle with the lines and restore the service. Most of the time we didn’t even have to notify them. But that would be the internet gone for the night.
