Are these standard telephone lines or are you using a cable
phone service?

Assuming it is traditional phone lines, then it could be
nothing more than a poor connection somewhere. You just have to track
it down.

I don't know much about the line backer insurance policies. I
suggest you read what is covered and see if it is covered. Funny
thing about those. When I had traditional phone lines they tried to
sell me that service. Under the rules of my local public utility
commission, the provider was responsible for the interior lines, even
without the insurance.
