Do we have a phone expert in this group?

I know, silly question.

I have terrible static in my phone line. I unplugged everything,
bought a new wire phone, plugged it in, and heard the same old static.

Assuming it's my problem (phone company tells you that if it's house
wiring the meter starts running and running and running), what do I
do?

Re-wire the house?

I was thinking about ripping down the lines, blaming the city tree
pruners, then calling them out making sure phone company's connection
is proper...


As others recommend, plug your phone into where it comes into the
house and if there is static it is the phone company's fault.
Verizon's customer service is awful and their standard response is to
tell you what it will cost if problem is in the house. My last
problem like this, they said they were coming to house, never came and
line cleared up. Static most likely came from source miles away.
