I have had the locate people out here a few times and they only marked
things in the right of way. They didn't mark my buried phone line to
the house. It did get hit.

Where's the terminal box? It's the phone company's up to there;
shoulda' found it. ATT did the trace here just last spring -- even came
out this time and actually retraced the route even though had been just
a couple years since did the new septic and had done then...

The junction box is on the house, though, so up to there is still
theirs. Mice got in the connections box at the pole last spring and
chewed insulation so buzzed every time it rained...fortunately, can take
phoneset to the outside and verify it's bad there so again that's on
them. Turned out second time besides the packrats, the County grader
had managed to just scrape off the outer insulation at another location
several miles away without actually breaking the wire...
