Last month I had a BS sales droid call to see if I wanted DSL service (I'm
with DirectTVDSL). One aspect of his sales pitch was "Deal with the guys
who own and fix the last mile of copper - 'cause we don't pay much
attention to the competition". Well, I quote _very_ loosely, he wasn't
nearly as blatent. Still, I  have no desire to work with BS more than I
absolutely must.
