   I just HAD about 100m of replacement/new phone wire strung up     
   from the roadside to the pole on my property!  :D   
      
   From the pole, everything goes underground for about 50m to the     
   house.

   Installing underground creates its own problems.. especially     
   when things called rocks get in the way.

   Water damage could be a slow long-term concern though. Every     
   spring, a lot of people complain about buzzing and crackling     
   noises on their phone lines. I still have constant buzz/crackle     
   on my POTS lines right now.
