kudos:1 | I'll add... I'll add one *good* thing about this "policy":
I get a telemarketer calling to sell me local phone service...
Them: Sir, we'd like to offer you our local phone service so that we can save YOU money.
Me: I have DSL...
(they ignore that)
Them: Sir, how much is your local service now ??
(as if they don't know)
Me: I have DSL. If I switch, I lose it.
Them: Yes sir, you're correct. We don't currently offer DSL service over our local phone service. Thank you for your time.

| Right on.
If someone switches dial tone that doesn't realize their DSL isn't part of their current package, too bad. I really don't think any of the people posting on this subject would let that happen to them as I suspect they are educated consumers, maybe, sort of, kinda. I'm sure you are though Hall.
The next few months will sure be interesting. |

| Well, you do realize that McDonalds is playing the same game too- because they're telling people that unless you go through the McDonalds drive through or walk up to the window- and allow McDonalds to bombard you with infinite visual name branding, advertisements, etc, you CAN'T get your Big Mac or your Chicken McNuggets anywhere else.
Oh... you can get your coke at Burger King- but if you do and don't come back to McDonalds (and they'll ask if you want something to drink- how CRAZY IS THAT?? Didn't it ever occur to them that you went to BK first for your coke and fries??) you can't get the Big Mac and/or Nuggets...
The tyrants I tell you... it's SO inconvenient to spend money driving around like that... don't you think?
