my fios lasted 3 months. not a cable problem. was back up in 3 days. i would think the only difference between buried and surface is the possibility of mechanical damage for the surface run.(passing motocross, deer stomps the cable). we have underground streams, so up or down does not make a difference. >************************************************************************* >** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** >** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** >************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
