Anywhere there are aerial telephone wires there is risk from a lightning strike hitting the poles and wires.

I am told that in the country we should unplug modems etc in a lightning storm. Particularly in flat open country.

Surprisingly there are still many overhead telephone wires in Sydney and the Illawarra suburbs so no safety in numbers there.
