And the transformers as being a part of the infrastructure, when they blow, they usually have blown to protect the line from a surge (and if a transformer for some reason lets a surge to pass, it's going to be so big, that your surge protector isn't going to help at all). |

I actually haven't had any problems with my equipment. My cheap little surge protectors (the small very basic ones) have been good enough til now. I was only giving examples of times when its possible there could have been a problem, the events did happen but I wonder what woulda happened if I didn't have even just my cheap little surge protectors. And I mentioned getting better surge protectors only because of what happened at my friends place but that was due to faulty wiring that failed about a month after they moved in and the cause of that was the negligent work of a handyman that worked the house when it transferred hands before they came in.
