I recently decided to add a second line. When I called them up, they informed me that since this was the 4th line for this address (not me, but the physical address), I would have to go onto a waiting list... When that finally came around, they gave me my number, and sent me on my way..... A few days later I came home only to find a note on my door saying that they had missed me, and that they needed my signtature in order to do the installation. Since they hadn't needed it for the the first line, I became suspicious, and called 'em... They told me that in order to do an under-ground (gasp!) line, they would have to do all sorts of digging and such forth.. Yeah - I would want an underground line all of a sudden although all the ther lines here are arial? hahaha.. I dont know where they got that idea.... They were planning on tearing up the canyon near here to install phone cable for just one line.. why cant they be willing to do this when we want them to? And sheesh - I almost let them, not realising what they wanted... At least it all worked out fine in the end... merlin rhoda UUCP: crash!pnet01!pnet101!pnet03!merlin INET: merlin@pnet03.cts.com
