I just HAD about 100m of replacement/new phone wire strung up  
from the roadside to the pole on my property!  :D

From the pole, everything goes underground for about 50m to the  
house.

Installing underground creates its own problems.. especially  
when things called rocks get in the way.

Water damage could be a slow long-term concern though. Every  
spring, a lot of people complain about buzzing and crackling  
noises on their phone lines. I still have constant buzz/crackle  
on my POTS lines right now.
