We had a lightning strike near us on July 4. I lost my Comcast modem and my network card. The modem which replaced on Saturday since they were out of modems at the office in Summerfield and my network card was replaced by MMD. I have the whole house protection from SECO at the meter.

The neighbor on the right lost her irrigation timer, her modem, a DTA box and her ADT system. She did not have the whole house protector.

The neighbor on the left lost his modem. He has the whole house protection.

Read into this what you want. But I think the whole house protection is a very good buy (or rent - depending on how you calculate costs).
