Because it's not necessary.

You have to with number porting because you have have 2 providers stuck with the same phone number. It's a technical limitation. You can have FiOS TV and Cable TV at the same time or DSL and Cable HSI at the same time.
Don't go trying to give a logical and thought out explanation.....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20230878 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 19:53:31 EDT Re: No way http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20230745 Skeedatl : Because it's not necessary (unless you're talking about number porting to cable in which case they already do, I went through it with TWC and Cox from Verizon and then Pacbell)

You have to with number porting because you can't have 2 providers stuck with the same phone number, there has to be a hand off. It's a technical limitation.

When I ported my number from telco to cable I had to go through 3rd party verification.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20229931 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 17:18:00 EDT Re: No way http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20229854 EPS : If I were a telco operator, I wouldn't trust a competitor to speak for what to the telco operator are still customers.

Any problems with that statement? :p]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20229854 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 17:04:06 EDT No way http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20229608 Skeedatl : If I was a cable operator, I wouldn't trust a competitor to speak for what to the cable operator are still customers.

Cable is right on this one. If the cable customer wants to cancel, let the cable customer call and go through the verification process to do so.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20229608 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:15:28 EDT
