If it's what we call an ADSL connection here in the UK then symptoms
of 'no phone' but 'internet working' are not that rare.  If there's a
physical break in the wires then your POTS phone will stop working but
because the internet connection uses (moderately) high frequencies the
break in the wire just attenuates the signal somewhat but doesn't stop
it working completely.
