Several years ago when or Verizon phone line failed (amazing, but it
does happen), the tech ran a cable from the nearby riser across our
lawn through the backyard into our house, must have been a hundred
feet or more, while they waited to retrench the new cable. Now that
there's fiber in the neighborhood, I guess they'll retrench a new
fiber cable if we order FIOS.
