Well that's a lovely idea and I'd damn sure do it if I could. While
they're required to share their central offices with competitors, they're
*not* required to share their remote offices. I'm too far from the CO to
get high-speed DSL but HellSouth has some gizmo in their RO that *will*
let me get high-speed. Unfortunately because the competitors can't get
into the RO I can only get high-speed service from BS.
