By going away, I mean that 205 is not listed on the web page, or on the
account reps screen anymore. I assume that means it'll go away at some
point, after everyone grandfathered is kicked out again.
Maybe you should check the URL I posted and call again.

They seem utterly unable to grok the fact that I *have* had FiOS since
2006, but do not have and do not want TV or phone. They send me so damn
much "get FiOS" junk mail that I started keeping it in a box and when
the box is full I'm going to ship it to them postage due, ATTN the
highest C-Level I can find. I'm up to 1 lbs 6 oz so far, JUST FOR ME,
and I've dated each piece and noted the frequent times I got 2 in 1 day.
I just scanned it and nothing like a notice jumped out at me. But
it's possible.

Troy on the PANTUG list just said:
"I called verizon and bitched. They offered me $5 per month credit. I
was still pissed. So I called Comcast and got a $20 plan for the next
12 months." See Troy's reply in:

They are so big it seems like they'd have to stage things in different
areas, but the URL I found was pretty simple and didn't ask my any
details. Maybe they are streamlining?

Yeah, I phrased that badly. They are just playing numbers games with
Comcrap. "Look, even our *slowest* plan is faster than their whatever
plan..."

Yup, back to the staging idea. Keep an eye out and let us know...

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
