Thank you for posting this site. It works for me as Dropbox does NOT,
just hangs

Who 'pays' for this service?

This site doesn't 'mine your system' does it?

Robert:

I don't know who actually pays for the service but I have never had a
problem with it. Since the file size is limited and the file is stored
for only a limited time it is possible it operates like Wikipedia on
donations and volunteers.

Let's test it. I made a 128Kbit/sec MP3 with the LAME encoder
on Audacity, and uploaded that to the site. File size 580,127 bytes.
SHA1 sum = 0d60d179bae0737b8610ff70f19789a0ec2e55d5

http://wikisend.com/download/338842/MyVerizonPhoneLine.mp3

The site says the file will be there for seven days.
So that's a smaller version of the file Andy provided.

The MP3 encoding, doesn't exactly preserve the waveform, but
it's good enough.

I have no experience with examining phone line waveforms - to me,
the only part of that waveform that is interesting, is the
"RC charging" waveform at 4.43 seconds in the MP3.

Verizon got the noise problem fixed.

Tech told me that had a fire 6 months ago on another part of the complex leading to wires getting wet.

Apparently they have two sets of wires coming to each phone jack. ??

So he just cut some wires in the box that went to the wet area.

I thanked him.

And wondered.

They know the wires are wet.

I guess they wait til someone gets a land line and complains.

Wouldn't it be pretty easy to just cut all the bad wires while the panel is open ?

That's why they get the big bucks. :-)
