He said lightning had struck near the garage (which it had) and had it had taken out the backup battery in the garage. In case of a hurricane or any kind of outage they installed a backup battery. It apparently continued to work for a couple of days until it finally gave out. He put in a new battery and it was fine. We also have long distance phone with call block and caller ID, the two together (phone & internet) costs us $59.99 a month plus tax, it's the same price since day one.
That's the same pkg that we have and they are charging us $59.90 for the internet and $11.34 for the phone plus taxes. Guess I have to give them a call.
