Of course, rigid drain pipes or conduit aren't always flexible like

Nor entirely practical. My old phone line goes through a PVC pipe.
Problem is, water gets into the pipe and when Winter time comes 'round
and there goes my landline. I hadda run a above ground line, instead.
Sometimes, still gets wet and drops out, but at least I can access it
and
fix it when it does.

BTW, one the few times WD40 is actaully helpful.

You just used the wrong wire. Anything underground is a wet location,
the pipe WILL fill up with water. If you used the "flooded" phone
wire, you would have been fine.

Is that the stuff where the insulation is actually some gel goo that
keeps
the water out?

There is shielded cable which is more expensive of course. I don't
think there would be any code problems if you ran a spare 12w/g either.
Are gophers or mice an issue in your area?
