I spoke to Wayne late Wednesday afternoon about the noise in the line and he listened! Milton from ATT called about 6:30 p.m. on Friday and we could actually hear him on the phone. It had been a long time making loud static and could barely hear when it did work. The ATT line is apparently old and gets wet down the road but, Milton said he thought it had been chewed by a mouse. I hope it will stay in good repair for a while!
