Neighbors,

I am wondering if I am the only one with a complete loss of phone service via Verizon. In this case it seems that Cambridge Landscaping took down the lines along with a tree at the back of a house on Upland.  I have never understood why the phone line runs through the backyards on Cambridge Terrace.  Can any of you confirm who else is connected to that line?  It may be that I am the only dummy still using Verizon.

I have already suffered through a week plus of the phones ringing one time only, no caller id, no answering service, and other weird stuff, since the 3 electrical outages in less than 24 hrs (compliments of NSTAR) affecting a few of us up and down Buena Vista and on Cambridge Terrace.  Anybody else have fried equipment, or advice?  I have unplugged everything and tried to isolate the problem, with absolutely no luck.

I am at my wit’s end about now!
