Re: [Qwest] Outrageous new charge increase from $.75 to $5 started now in MayCL doesn't require POTS for DSL. Same wire, yes, but if you don't have POTS you won't care about any non-published number fee. |

Would never switch from a land line to cell service where I live. Cell reception too spotty to take that chance. Have never used an unpublished number so at least that's one CL fee I can avoid. |

If your DSL is stable, you can use a VoIP service. It's a lot cheaper and is almost as reliable, with the exception of power outages (but then cell service can be a backup; even if it's spotty, it _is_ some form of redundancy).
If the DSLAM is BBU'd, the reliability concern is even less. |
