People here where I live people are gitting really dareing, they took over 400 ft of the phone cable. It left alot of people and bussens with out phones or the internet. So that's where I've been, waiting on AT&T to fix the problem. What's sad is this is not the fist time.

Probably has to do with the wires in the cable. I bet the wires have copper in them and thats why they took them. Copper is realy highly valued right now. If thats not it, then I dont know

But with phone and internet, wouldn't you assume that it is fiber-optic cable, not copper (usually used for electricity)?

But I do know people that are rummaging everywhere for copper wire. Soon we will be mining our landfills for all the things we threw away thinking that it wasn't important.

Where do you sell stole phone wire anyway? you can't walk up to AT&T and be like "hey I found this, you guys want to buy it?". I guess you would take it to Sprint first, anyway.
