I've been with no home phone / internet since 10am. Tried all the things I could think of on my end. Got bored, went outside to go do some stuff and found our phone line draped all over our hedges.

Best time the techs can come is between 1-3 tomorrow.

It is when doing it wrong (which is very likely) endangers me and makes the problem worse.

You're always so negative. Stop that and have a little confidence.

Why is your internet tied to your phone line? Dial up died decades ago.

Because we live in a "rural" area. I think we have a step up from dial up.

Max 1.2Mb/s it's fucking frustrating

Usually a cut aerial line isn't something you can just fix unless you have a lot of extra slack on the end that wasn't cut so that you could stretch it to its original span (or at least long enough to get past the hook/anchor on the pole that holds the tension). Most of the time this isn't the case so a new length has to be strung up and run from the pole to the house

Just trying to splice it together won't work since the tension on the line will just pull it apart again
