It seems unlikely. Swapping the lines that are used involves actually going 
there and switching the lines over. The problem could be anywhere between the 
exchange and your phone I would think. It's not inconceivable that it is your 
house wiring, although if it was, I'd be a little concerned about where the 
water was getting in.

Can't answer the line-responsibility question with any authority, but I 
suspect that their job stops where it enters your house, unless you pay them 
for it.
