Installing Telephone and Cable Lines

The telephone and cable companies will install cable for you, but be braced for a pretty hefty bill, even for running a simple surface-mounted extension line. The cable company may want to charge you a monthly fee for splitting the line in order to service two televisions. So, although it is not feasible for a homeowner to make major telephone installations (and perhaps illegal to make a cable installation), it does make sense for you to run cable for extra telephones or a second TV.
