Yes. A friend of mine had not paid his phone bill for a few months and the number was disconnected. However, his DSL service continued to work even after the number was disconnected. -- Do the world a favor, Saddam. Kill yourself. |

 NPGMBR join:2001-03-28 Arlington, VA | reply to pnh102 Sure wish Verizon would do this in Northern VA. I just switched back to Verizon DSL from Comcrap (which actually had great service but charges too much).
I'd quickly drop my landline just to save some extra bucks. And on February 24th, I'm getting rid of Comcast's Digital Cable. I'm just tired of paying for all this stuff particularly channels I don't watch but they don't allow us to choose.
Oh well ........... Now that Sex and the City is almost over, it won't matter much for me until 6 Feet Under Starts up again. |

What everyone has to understand though, is that the ILEC people have just about every single database with indexes on the TN.
Trust me, coordinating the systems is hard enough when you have a simple indicator like TN to reference. When you have to go by address... I lived in one apartment in college that had three different addresses... 913 E 27th, 913B E 27th, 912-1/2 E 27th... Because the phone company, postal service, and electric company all had different records.
