Wow, if water kills your phone line, it must be really hard on DSL on

I have about 20 feet of my phone line, mostly 4-conductor round while
wire, open to the rain, and maybe that's what's been causing internet

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.
