It makes sense what you are saying, but why has it been working great for years trouble free with the same package, internet usage, and only in the last few months acting up? I was hoping they would find some line issues, looseness, corrosion. They sent a line tech out first time, but apparantly he couldn't get into the CO to test so it was not performed (that's what the recent tech told me was in the notes). Then he requested another line tech, but I'm not confident they ever came out either. Never heard anything.
Ok so i can’t comment on the techs or what they have or haven’t done and I don’t know the condition of the plant. But I can answer your question. It could be corrosion on the binding post, it could be a connector isn’t making good contact. It could also be a bonding and grounding issue and some locator left bonds off and you are now getting power influence. Could be many things.
It could also be that you don’t have any line issues and there have been more people in your area that have all gotten service since the pandemic. So let’s say hardly anyone in the cable that feeds your house had up until now and now a lot of people have it. Even though everyone has their own set of conductors and their own circuit that can cause issues. And the issue stems from trying to push all these services beyond what they are are designed, ie running a profile further then what the loop will support.
Now you ask how can that cause problems with one another. Think of it like this. You are in a big room or gymnasium and you and one other person are having a conversation. The further apart you and that other person are the louder you both have to talk to understand each other. Then start adding more people to that gymnasiums having their own conversations at different distance. Eventually know one will be able to understand anything.
Basically when you push a profile beyond what it’s designed it has to turn the power up or volume so to speak. That starts affecting other services in the same cable. So they then compensate by turning the volume up. The local techs should be setting everyone’s service to an appropriate profile when they get dispatched on them. If they don’t eventually it all causes problems for multiple people like when everyone starts working from home and doing virtual school due to the pandemic.
