Happened in my neighbor' s yard. The phone company guys must have spend 20
minutes taking photos before touching anything. I assume to charge the
guilty party. I could see the spray painted line painted by "Miss Utility"
was about a foot from where the dig was so I imagine someone will be
checking if the phone line was buried according to plans or "Miss Utility"
had sprayed off by a foot.

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
