I am on my third one but when it is not fried it works great. When a storm comes and you are home unplug it because I have had them on a good surge protector on an underloaded socket and it still got hit.

sursuciofla said:Yeah and I have DSL. My phone got hit two weeks ago. So you might be right. Do I need to call power company?
