1 edit | Wanted to Switch I have wanted to switch to OV for quite some time now but the $40 fee irks me and having to pay for an additional fee for installation because it is a number port is annoying as well. Supposedly the installation is required to make sure you are disconnected from the POTS. Apparently that is not a problem if you decide to drop your existing number and get a new OV number. I have not figured that one out.
What is interesting is that by complaining the reporter was able to get the fee waived. I may try that and see what happens.

Heck, they plain out lied to me and said self install with NO number porting is not allowed either. So I was still stuck paying them $14.95, and then having 2 tech visits to fix what the original "contractor"-tech f*cked up.
Let alone for that installation charge I was left without either dialtone OR internet!
