A little tidbit of trivia here.... I've found the underground lines in some 
rural areas were a somewhat expensive experiment tried by some telcos.  In 
some rural places in SC it was tried because the strong thunderstorms in the 
area tended to frequent damage above ground lines.  The thought  was putting 
them underground, while a bit more costly, might save some money in the long 
run.  So in certain sections they tried running underground.  As a result, 
those areas of the state usually now can't get things like DSL because it 
costs them too much to repull the grade of line to support it.  That is 
until they suffer water damage such as in places like Mississippi after the 
last hurricanes.

But I digress...
