I'm the same, the first chance I have to stop giving them money, I'll be 
on top of it.  Right now, I have to have there phone service in order to 
get dsl through another provider, I'm hoping that will change soon.  I'm 
not about to drop the phone service and go with the cable monopoly.

I know I've related the story before, but it bears repeating.  The last 
time I dealt with Bellsouth in an attempt to get a simple service turned 
on it took 7 people and 11 days.  The last person I spoke to was a 
supervisor who I told that I should simply take my business elsewhere. 
She the offered to connect me to the proper Bellsouth folks who could 
terminate my service.

They bloody don't care because they don't have to.  They are the new 
phone monopoly. (full disclosure: retired AT&T employee)
