Scott,

   You are so lucky, not having to deal with Gte any longer.
  
   Here in Eastern Ohio, there is no problem getting a phone "
repairman" out, the problem is he has no idea what to do, notice
I put the word "repairman" in quotes.

   For instance, they had a problem with one of their lines running
across a vacant property, so they just put another on on the 
ground last fall, but my bushog hit it, Gee too bad.
