said by LostInSpace : I did not know that good old Verizon would actually fix something like that for free especially since they charge a bounty to customers who believe that their internal phone wiring might suddenly disintegrate and melt in front of their eyes. The wiring protection plan is a good way to bilk old ladies out of $5 or so a month for nothing.
The reason there is no charge is because it is not inside wire or customer provided equipment that is causing the trouble. These radio interference issues can be heard right at the Nid or Ont with the inside wiring disconnected.
With Fios, the Optional Wiring Maintenance Plan also covers coax, splitters, barrels and ends The only exception is that Verizon provided amplifiers are covered without the plan.
