Indeed, I would. I'd pay for that in a heartbeat. I'd pay 'em enough to bury the line, in fact. I actually paid for just about two miles out of the village to just about a mile past my place. I only paid for the equipment, however. The phone company paid for the installation. It's basically a repeater (technically two) / booster type of box that sits on the side of the road. The only wire that had to be replaced was further out and then past my house (I had them do the whole road). I want to say the wire was good for ~9 miles out of the village, something like 7 miles past the first repeater. Something like that, at any rate. The bill came to about $30k The neighbor's chipped in a few grand, but not much. They didn't know me well at that point, so when I told 'em they didn't have to pay a damned thing but that it'd be sweet if they did, they only chipped in a little. And, yeah... I got my 30k out of it. It has easily paid for itself in my enjoyment and use. The lines went up in 2008, so yeah...
