Even if I were so inclined, a link to their troubleshooting site or
online chat with an AI bot would not have fixed the problem.  They wound
up having to run an entirely new cable from the box outside my house to
the junction.

    the phone company talked of running a new cable for our
landline for 20 years and never did it.  eventually we
cancelled our line and got a cell phone for half the price
per month.  the noise on the line varied with the weather
and how many mice they had in the cabinets and failures of
equipment at the switching stations.  all that copper is
still in the ground.
