My excellent track hoe operator cut my phone cable. He called a buddy who works for the phone company, and he says the phone company charges $300 to come fix it. It is a copper shielded 4 line wire. It has some goo on the inside. It is a buried line not in a conduit.
Does the price seem high? I know I could splice the wires, but a ten foot section was just destroyed, and I don't have any of that specialized wire. And then there's the issue of weather and water.
What would you do?
