I have AOL with DSL, and I have ADSL. I have no idea what ADSL means. Unfortunately, everytime it rains, the DSL goes out for a few days. How can the rain cause this? I live in Georgia, so should I call AOL to fix this, or is it Bellsouth's problem? Any help appreciated.

ADSL is Asymetric Digital Subscriber Line, ie the download speed is higher than the upload speed.

It is probably a BellSouth problem. They probably have a splice point that is getting water in it when it rains. However if you are paying AOL for DSL then BellSouth probably won't help until AOL request service from them, they are BellSouth's customer. It wouldn't hurt to try though.
Tell AOL you're going to get cable internet access.
