What direct burial wire should I use to run a new phone/DSL line from my house to the phone companies pedestal about 400 feet from the house?

Okay, I give up, are you taking about adding an extension to an existing phone line or a entirely new circuit.

If you are talking about a complete new circuit, you cannot do that. The utility company owns the pedestal.

The only place you could tap an extension in would be the Network Interface Box that the phone utilities mount on the outside wall of your home.

If you want a brand new phone circuit, contact the phone company and get a quote for the work

We damaged the original underground phone line that we installed ourselves. The phone company is only responsible up to the pedestal in the rural area of where we live.If we want new phone line we have to run it and pay for it ourselves.We have static on the line and everything looks fine in the phone box now the DSL is out.Carrier said they will be out to check the wires at the pedestal they could here the static on the line.If everything is fine on their side of the pedestal we will have to run a new line to the house direct burial no conduit this time.

What I don't understand is the phone company allowing you inside their pedestal in the first place.

Maybe it is because of your rural location, but when I worked for Ma Bell in NY (Westchester) if we found an unlabeled pairing it was reported and then traced back to the owner. If it was a hijacked connection, it was terminated and removed.

We handled all of Westchester and a very small part of Rockland County.

Since then phone companies have gone to using a "Demarcation" box. Currently, I believe that you have up to 4 separate lines on the box.

Conditioning for a DSL circuit is normally handled at the Branch Office and then the cable pair is set in the pedestal.

The buzzing you are hearing can be caused by not installing the digital filters on a voice and DSL circuit. The digital signals can bleed into the analog signals.
