Ok, Verizon is on my you know what list now.
yes I am replying to myself.
I called conectiv regarding DSL... they were very nice, btw.. and the lowest monthly rate! ($59.95 - no contract.. la la la!)
Well, I asked they guy on the phone about the existing line thing... and he said that the telocs won't allow them to switch the lines - they (conectiv and other ISPs) get charged and have to install a new line, so they in turn have to charge the customer. (so what was this configuration stuff the dude at DSLi was referring to?) My area uses Verizon - they can't provide access for me and then they want to turn around cause me to spend an extra $150-$200 for a new line when I really don't need one
It's not like they are trying to force me to use them - THEY CAN'T PROVIDE SERVICE TO ME!!
Why on EARTH would they do this? I said before that giving in would perpetuate the cycle...but if everyone just gives up and doesn't use these ISPs because the telcos are causing them to pay extra... it's like giving in and allowing the telocs to push out everyone else.
Am I off base here???
Anyway, I think I will take susangg's advice and start raising h*ll.
