It has been '0' days since Bell Canada broke my DSL Internet, apparently by moving wires around. Bonus points: massive static on my voice line (which uses the same wires). Extra bonus points: Bell Canada is apparently now claiming to my ISP that it absolutely must be my DSL modem and they won't move a finger until it's replaced.
Do you know how hard it is to get new VDSL2 modems in a hurry? They are entirely unfashionable these days. (New, because a used one might provoke Bell again.)

@cks Many tech's don't care so they might have broken something trying to wire up a new customer. I've even seen tech's break an existing customers connection to get a usable pair for new customer so they can close the job and go home, even though some other person has a broken line now. (That's someone else's problem.)

@purpleidea I've seen fun variations of that. Once, years ago, I wound up beinged connected to someone else's line, which I initially didn't notice because they had DSL service too and my third-party DSL provider was happy to take my connection from the wrong phone number/line/etc. (That was educational about the difference between 'DSL signal' and 'a PPPoE DSL connection', although it might not work in all DSL environments.)
