CableTV Wire Maintenance Plan
As a Marne & Elk Horn Telephone Company customer, you are responsible for maintaining the inside coaxial cable from the ground block (a connecting block installed on the outside of your home) or protector to your video device. “Inside wire” refers to the wiring running from the protector to the video devices in your home. The transmission facilities used to deliver the signal from the company head-end to your home are maintained by Marne & Elk Horn Telephone Co. Customer owned video devices such as televisions, VCRs, satellite receivers, cable converter boxes or line amplifiers are not included in the definition of “inside wire”.
The monthly charge for the Cable TV Wire Maintenance Plan is just $3.95
