That is partially your fault.  Decades ago, when I was on a copper 
circuit, and my house service wasn't up to code vis-a-vis adequate 
grounding etc, I'd have a cripsy modem everytine we had a nearby strike, 
where nearby was defined as within 5 miles.

I redid the service & made it 120% legal, installed some surge arresting 
stuff and a UPS, soldered every electrical joint in this room about a 
decade back.  Then single point star AC from a single wall plug for 
everything in it.

So right now, I could take a hit on the pole across the street that 
serves this house from a 50kw pole transformer, this whole room may 
bounce 100 kilovolts for everything in it.  But with the surge 
arrestors, and the lightning arrestors on every piece of copper going up 
to the middle of the roof to my television antenna,  and on the cable 
from the cable system where my internet comes from, I sit here and 
listen to it, occasionally even taking a minor shock like grabbing a  
doorknob after walking on a nylon rug.  But I have had exactly zero 
equipment failures in the ensuing decade & change that I could attribute 
to that.

Electricity is not magic, it has rules & regulations intended to tame it.
Here, it works nice.

Now, to add to the surge/EMP insults, I have a 100 foot piece of cat5 
strung, up in the air, from the back of the house to a shed that has 2 
of my CNC machines in it, from a hub in that shed, back to the garage, 
another airbone run of around 75 feet.  There is a 3rd CNC machine in 
the garage, but its cat5 feed is from an 8 port switch I can see from 
here, and is not dependent on the airborn stuff.  That was just added in 
the last 2 months, but there still has been exactly zero failures from 
lightning induced EMP events.

This also is good advice.
