Just a Coincidence?

[#1]

Accidently my wife connected the PC fax card to the ADSL output of one of our filters (I do admit that I inadvertantly gave her the wrong cable  )
After disconnecting the fax card I noticed that the line was dead yet we still had internet access. I plugged a (non-DECT) phone directly into the main socket - dead. Plugged the same phone into my mother's line - worked.
Phoned BT who, after some checks, said there was a fault at the exchange - can't do anything till tomorrow 
So, could the fax issue have caused the fault to occur or just coincidence. The phone was working earlier in the day but I am not sure how long before we noticed the fault.
If this is in the wrong forum, please move it accordingly.

I would say just a coincidence.

...and I would say the thread is fine where it is

I'd blame your wife and another good example of why women shouldn't be let near technology

If you watched the film "Queen" - do you recall the line when she is reporting the landrovers broken front drive shaft after driving into the burn -  " I used to be a vehicle mechanic in the war don't forget "
Likewise many of today's RAF / RN  aircraft technicians are women ! !
Also many RAF pilots are women these days
would you fly an aircraft maintained by a woman

One woman - no. A team of woman - why not?

[#7]

Personally I'd prefer not to fly at all.. whoever the plane was maintained by

I'll take you up in an aircraft with  no engine and turn you upside down - hows that ?

Now I know we mods aren't well liked but come on

I'd leave the straps good and tight 
ok - a fair percentage of people don't like flying - it's not a natural  place for man to be.
But for some of these - a sympathetic pilot can help and turn people around so that they love it.
BA used to run courses to help - not sure if they still do.

Me either and I know it's totally irrational - I get the science of it all - and think it is probably to do more with control issues than the actual fact of flying itself
