Connection reliability

[stayler]

There are several lights on the unit, one od which is a framing error
indication.  This one goes red during the problem times, and yes the
phone service goes as well.  

This problem has been going on for 6 months at least.  My location is
fed by about a 2 miles of copper that comes from the local fiber drop. 
It could be maintenance, but it'll happen at all hours of the day and
night and I have never seen a repair guy out here at night....
