I'm a homeowner with limited electrical skills, but I have added phone lines in my homes in the past. In the house I own now, I get a very strong shock from one of the four wires in my telephone line. The current is present in the line before it enters the house and is constant (i.e., not present just during ringing).
The line runs underground from a telephone utility box near the street -- is it possible it's crossing a buried electrical wire and picking up current there? Is there any way this could be considered normal?
Any advice would be appreciated.
