i dont like spliced repairs and make do fixes.

Buried splices are like light bulbs and hard-disk drives: It's not IF - it's

Left undisturbed, buried cable/drop will outlast the house. Put a "hole" in
it and you can set your timer:

Even the best buried splice, done properly by a telco technician will
eventually fail.
