Does anyone ever take the modem outa the wall, i think thats was a wifestale, told to us by isp's who didnt wanna deal with us, jst take our money smile

Anyway Wouldnt the phone cable melt if a lightening bold hit it, i mean its only i tiny itty bitty wire, i have melted 240v house wire before I cant amagine a phone wire surviving.

PS: i dont have any real idea if it would or not actually, but it seems logical?!?!?!
