Fearing the same, I asked my DSL provider what the foreseeable threats
to my service might be. The answer was "squirrels".

About once ever year or two the cable company will have to come out and
replace the drop line to my house because squirrels have chewed far enough through it that water gets in (and stays in) the cable.

They like this area because a neighbor across the street feeds them peanuts
in the shell. There is a certain time every morning you can watch them
scurry across the street, and you will find the peanut shells (with one
chamber empty and the other still with a nut in it) burried everywhere.
