don't forget that long antenna you have running out to the street,
even if it's buried  your telephone line brings bad stuff in on it ,,,

it took out a new TV...router, network raid drive, all the phones
the junk probably crossed over on a two line phone to the 
magicjack..then into the network...  now a box, happens to be 
polyphaser...to 10 foot gnd rodS....
antennas were disconnected
