Do you really think holding up someone else, and saying, look, they do it too, makes it ok?

I have not called yet, to cancel, but I did try to cancel everything online. Funny, I can sign up online, but there is no way to cancel on the website, or via online chat.

I will spell it out, right here and now, why I am canceling, or very close to canceling..

1. DNS redirection.
2. Your policy as it pertains to data collection of a personal nature. It is all pretty much spelled out in this link: »www2.embarq.com/legal/privacy.ht···=privacy

And for phone service

1. Having to pay to keep my information private, as in an unlisted, and unpublished number.
2. Your below the line "taxes" The one that is the most BS "tax" I have ever seen is this one: Interstate access surcharge.. This is how they explain it: This charge recovers part of the costs of local facilities used for interstate calling. $5.68

It should be a crime to break out hidden fees like this, and then call them taxes.

So more or less these are my reasons.

The link you provided about data collection is CPNI, better go talk to the FCC as they're the ones that mandate CPNI.

Even tho it appears some bean counter for the phone company came up with a new way of getting money and calling it a tax, between the State Commission who will tell you what charges are regulated by them and get you prepared to talk to Embarq about any charges that are not correct.
