Be a pity when that old adsl connection of Mr Cummings just starts
to fall out of limits - they forcast nasty weather.

And why would weather affect a perfectly good ADSL on a new
(underground) line?

The joints in the cable will have increased impedence when damp.
Underground cable probably has a *higher* chance of remaining wet by
the way - longer time to recover.

In what way does moisture increase the impedance of a telephone
line?
