When was the last time that the landline phones went down for more than a few minutes?
My AT&T landline (also DSL) was up and down for about 12 hours after the first big rain about three weeks ago. I picked up my phone and got nothing but static for about half an hour. It briefly came back and I called it in (it really makes the point when the repair tech can't understand you because of the line noise). I got an automatic call back the next morning saying they fixed it but never got an explanation why it happened.
My Scumcast cable was fine the whole time.
