| Same excuse....
I've heard this excuse before. Back in the day at&t claimed it was "impossible" to get dry DSL because "the billing system had no way of tracking you without a POTS number."
Fine, fix it then, or don't bill me anything. 
Look, we're not idiots. They can do anything they *want* to do and consider a priority...... anything they don't really want to do, and are forced to do for consumer benefit, well, they'll make excuses, drag feet, and generally cry and gnash teeth.

Valencia, CA | Most companies end up making excuses for changes, as they don't have staff to implement them. With many mega corps doing hack/slash layoffs, its skeleton crew doing maintenance work.

The best excuse I saw was the line can't handle dry DSL and that it would wreak havoc on the copper |

We just got training on this the other day. The prorated ETF's are to start with the new scheduled release of Ensemble (billing system) by Nov 9th. This only applies to new contracts, so new activations or contracts renewed prior will not have prorated ETF's. |
