Barry,
Just because the surges travel on the power companies facilities doesn't
mean that the power company "induced" them. Where did you come up with that
idea?
What is the problem with "wire insurance"? The telephone wires inside your
house belong to you, not the telephone company. They are offering you a
maintenance agreement to repair the wires for a monthly fee. What is wrong
with that? If you don't like it, don't sign up for it.
