Not withstanding your arguments, I disagree. As long as Verizon does
not allow a naked dsl line, and insists on a minimum of $14 for
minimum service in addition to any other arrangements you may have,
they should be responsible. After all its their last mile, and if they
insist on charging for whats not needed, they should at a minimum get
off their butts and roll a truck.
