Bet most of them cant even manage to configure their modems properly and it isnt even detecting dial tone properly and thats why it doesnt connect.

Petzl at least has the credibility of actually living in the area and being aware of local conditions, such as all cabling back to the exchange running through the floor of a valley which currently would have very high water saturation and be considerably wet most of the time. As to cable age, quite possibly a major factor, plus his area is infested with contract cable technicians, which are a major quality problem in themselves. I recently found out about someone in the area who has been on a satellite phone provided by Telstra for the last 18months as Telstra could not find a still workable pair in the twenty pair cable that ran past his house.
