251412 - 800 951 1665
251414 - ..
251415 - Junior discovered that phone cable was plugged into telephone port #2
251416 - rather than port #1, which is near the outside edge of the modem.
251417 -
251418 - [On 170303 1610 same problem occurred after disconnecting
251419 - electrical cables in the office to vacuum the floor; found
251420 - this record explaining the solution, and saved money for
251421 - Comcast service ca.. ref SDS 85 GK4M

251425 - agent remotely, reported on 140617 0732. ref SDS 81 G83K
251427 - ..
251428 - He further discovered that line 2 was selected on the main telephone

251430 - on the telephone console.

251432 - [On 140809 0941 paid Comcast about $60 for service call

251441 - ..
251442 - Checked the remote telephone extensions in the other rooms. They all
251443 - have dial tones now.
251445 - ..
251446 - This problem may have occurred from vacuuming on 140608 1444.
251447 - ref SDS 80 G37J Somehow could have bumped the line #2 button,
251448 - thereby disconnecting line 1, and so caused all the telephones in the

251452 - This analysis conflicts with the record of using the telephone daily
251453 - for at least 6 days, since 140608, until dial tone outage occurred.

251465 - both the junction box near the streetside curb, and at the junction
