Called broker this AM to get automated phone acct activity. Connection kept breaking up so couldn't make out #s. Called CU and it was fine. Repeated this several times and the results seemed to be reproducible.
Called broker via another phone number to bypass the automated system and had the same problem. A mystery at this point unless the initial stages of the call went thru the same automated phone system before I got transferred to human.
Called some other institutions. About half had the same problem.
All the above situations were w/ landline
Then called the broker via cell phone.......no problems. By itself this seems to point to a landline problem.......but why some calls to some banks have no problems, while other do. Not a huge sample admittedly but reproducible so far.
