I doubt any telephone company worker would have gone into the attic. I already
had a wire (single pair) going into a room and wanted to add a second line in
that room only. The telephone installers (from Verizon CA) would not go into
the attic, they wanted to punch a hole through the wall of a second story room
and run the extra pair outside the house. So I went into the attic and pulled
a new multi pair wire using the old single pair from that room to the attic and
spliced the wires myself while the telephone workers (at least they let me use
their tools) sat waiting for me to finish so they could test the line.
