Got ADSL as well as home phone. Didn't really ned the home phone but it was a good deal so what the hey.. deeply regret it now.. Didn't even consider hooking up a home phone was opening the door for spam marketing and malicious phone calls, as well as resulting in having our home address published online in white pages.. oh you didn't read the small print saying that's what would happen? Well too bad sucker.. now we have to get our number changed and a silent listing as well but that all takes time and must move at the pace of a glacier, meanwhile we get random calls which hang up when we pick up, rude telemarketers and all around annoying, malicious calls.. Oh and let's not forget that every facet of the phone service you used to take for granted as being part of the service is now itemised for a fee, such as silent number listing ($2.93 for the priviledge) and caller ID, yes they charge you for that too.. Why not just ask me to bend over and give you my wallet at the same time at sign up? Used to like IInet, no more. I have come to the conclusion that all telcos suck and we the public have no consumer protections. The telcos are allowed to screw us and there is nothing we can do. Remember it when you vote and I would seriously advise against taking a landline phone with these phonies.
