Cheap lines, damaged lines, open filters, or even no filters at all.
But, I'd guess there is a street light somewhere in your neighborhood that is attached to a telephone pole, and the ballast (which regulates the voltage) is malfunctioning, and the voltage is all over the place, causing interference that is noisy in the high frequency spectrum, where DSL signals also reside, and it just drowns out the internet completely.
They need someone that will expect the entire area for this problem.
I will bring that up the next time our service goes down. Which won't be long, I'm sure. Thanks
