Failing cable lashing

How long will our copper telephone plant be maintained? The lashing has been failing on this cable for more than a year. I am not sure when the two wooden anti-chafing protectors were installed. The boxes are not even tied to the sagging cable. This cable is on Ringwood Avenue in Menlo Park, CA. It belongs to AT&T, aka SBC, aka Pacific Telephone outside plant. My phone service may be via this cable - I hope not. You can also see this by going to 770 Ringwood Ave., Menlo Park, CA in Google Maps, then use the Street View.
