Telephone Wire Maintenance Plan
As a Marne & Elk Horn Telephone Company customer, you are responsible for maintaining the inside telephone wiring from the protector (usually a small gray box on the outside of your house) to your telephone devices. “Inside wire” refers to the wiring running from the protector to the telephone devices in your home. Customer-owned telephone equipment such as fax machines, modems, satellite receivers, or answering machines that may be connected to a telephone jack are not included in the definition of “inside wire”. Inside Wire Maintenance Plan does not cover inside wiring that is not working, disconnected at the time coverage is initiated, or not professionally installed.
The monthly charge for the Inside Wire Maintenance Plan is just $2.00 per line.
Customers who choose NOT to subscribe are responsible for the maintenance of their inside wiring. You can repair the wiring yourself or contact Marne & Elk Horn Telephone Company to make the repair based on an hourly rate, standard trip charge and cost of materials.
