Re: No surprises
Not necessarily. In rural areas like Northern Baltimore County here in the People's Republic of Maryland, Verizon still has 30 and 40 year old copper feeds running down the back roads. During a good rain (and we have had lots of that), the hollow core of the feed gets filled with water in the low parts between poles... the only way for them to fix this is to roll a truck with an air tank they connect to blow the water out.
It was the main reason I ditched the landline.
Besides, phones suck anyway. Too many jackasses in this country feel that my having a phone number gives them the right to bother me. |
