Yes I have phone service that is not affected by thunderstorms. Since I have 7 Mbps, my understanding is that my connection can only come from the CO, correct?

Since DSL cables are buried in the ground I am having a hard time understanding why a thunderstorm and no power interruptions would cause a connection to drop... It's not like satelite which is very prone to interuptions with weather conditions.
