Struggling back and forth with Qest, phone line going on and off. Quick question: when my line at home doesn't work, and I plug a phone into the outside network interface, there's tremendous static, but I can still barely make out a dial tone and dial. Should this network interface connection be giving a pretty crystal-clear dialtone if all is well on the phone company's end?
Appreciate your help - weeks of frustration already here!

Make sure your internal wiring is disconnected
at the network interface when you test.

Bound to cover,
just a little more ground.

Should be clear unless you have DSL, then you may hear some data, depending on your distance from the CO. If you have DSL go through a DSL filter to see if the line is clear.

Call the phone company from the box outside (NID). To speed up the service.
Good Luck!!
If all else fails, use a BFH.
