Rep Power: 2 | Last week, after some thunder-showers & lightning my phone went dead that means there was no dial tone and I was unable to make/receive any calls. I tried both the telephones in my home so as to make sure that it's not the fault at the equipment side. But when I dialled my Dataone, it was working fine as usual. I had always heard & believed that you need to have dial tone for the phone to work from my dialup-days. The next day, I complained to the BSNL & the phone was working fine from the next day onwards. :thumbup1: So what is the technical reason behind this ? Is it because of the Voice frequency band went kaput because of any hardware fault and the DSLAM was working fine ? |

Rep Power: 1 | Yes same with me too dear ;-) but its a boon that inspite of no dial tone / fone being dead our ADSL light is on, even in chennai two times this happened with my telephone and both times it happened on saturdays so till monday the phone could not be repaired, but the internet was working. ;-) Telephones people mentioned that due to lighting some problem happened and many telephones had to be restored, but even dont know howcome BB was not affected. Dont know the reason, but thank god atleast broadband was not affected by the lightining and we could surf internet |

Rep Power: 2 | I'm curious. Does this happens only with BSNL or with other providers also ? |

| Platinum Member | This will happen in case of any ADSL provider. The voice and data circuits are different. Only in case when there is a physical damage to the telephone cable, then both services will be affected. |

Rep Power: 5 | ADSL utilize frequencies that are not used by a voice telephone call. A splitter - or microfilter - allows a single telephone connection to be used for both ADSL service and voice calls at the same time. |
