I like your math.
And some folks have lived in the same place for longer yet, and had NO truck rolls so far.
close as "f*** it" is to swearing
On average allocation $5 per month to line maintenance from the CO to the customer NID is probably quite adequate to cover most of their line maintenance cost. That leaves the rest for equipment and trunks etc. and of course the bosses salaries and bonuses and shareholder dividends.
I often wonder why public services like telephone should be FPOs (For Profit Organisations).
