Default Underground phone line cut to house


wrote in message
...
Scenario:

1) a 10 strand phone line (underground) was cut during a landscaping
project. About 4 feet from entry of the cable as it goes into the
house (into the basement).

2) The 'Digg' or 'OOps' number was not called first, it was obvious
the cable would have been in that vicinity.

3) Will the phone company fix this for free? (as someone has told me)

Thanks

Phil


Dunno, but curious to hear the answers. The same thing happened to mine. I
spliced a patch in there. Now the phone company has to come wire one end to
the new addition, then run about twenty feet to the original location. Hope
it's not too bad.
