Turns out I was the one that broke my net connection. Without giving the matter
enough thought, I plugged in a modular phone cord without a splitter or a DSL
filter, and this turned out to be the cause of my connectivity woes. Luckily I
finally made the connection, and things returned to normal immediately.
Speaking of returns to normalcy, I believe we finally got the Tickle ad campaign removed (after a couple of failed attempts) after they slipped a decidedly non-work-safe image (bewbs) into one of their personals. Sorry about that.

That's the one thing I hate about DSL, those stupid filters.
There's supposedly a way to install DSL without them, but Verizon refused to do that for me.
Essentially, they put a device in your house (or attic) where the line comes in. The device is essentially a special kind of splitter that seperates the phone and the digital-data-line to 2 different wires. You then run the digital line to the room you want your modem to be, and thus no splitters anywhere, and the phone-signal line just connects to your existing phone line.
But, like I said, Verizon wouldn't do that for me (even though they sent 3 technicians to our house to install it).
Unfortunately, I don't know what it's called. I want to say "POTS Splitter," but I don't think that's it. It was so long ago.
