Callers can't phone me - "congestion on the line"

[jackdavis42]

I live in Gulfview Heights and have discovered that people are unable to phone us because they get a message that there is "congestion on the line". Obviously I have no way of telling when this happens because I don't get the call!  Can you please fix this for me?

Was this resolved? What caused the "congested" message?

When I called my home phone today - same message. Phone has been out for about 3 or 4 days now.
