Who do you have? I'm guessing Comcast or Cox. Are you in a rural area?

Through the phone line? So would I be right in guessing you have DSL?

You may be way ahead of me on this but people are having good success with this product with DSL:

http://www.amazon.com/APC-PTEL2-Prot...urge+protector

I have one of these installed on my main cable feed since I'm on a cable modem:

http://www.amazon.com/TII-Broadband-...d_bxgy_e_img_z

and one of these after that connected to the cable again and between my modem and network gear:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I went surge protector crazy a couple of years ago... No complaints!

The down side to all of those things is that it will be the FIRST thing your ISP will blame for an outage. You have to disconnect them all (and hide them) before a service appointment or you'll hear loads of crap about it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
