Dial-up update

We got a call this evening from Verizon saying they wouldn't be able to set us up with DSL until the 15th. It was an automated message, with the option of pressing a button so we could speak to a live person, should we so desire. Dave pressed the button and was then informed that the current wait time was over half an hour.

This new development could mean one of two things:
1. Someone from Verizon read my previous post, got annoyed, and with one click of the button pushed useven further down the "to be hooked up with DSL" list.
2. They want to make sure that we have dial-up for 30 days so they don't have to credit us for a free month.

I have to confess that I'm leaving off a potential third option because I don't want to offend any family members that read this site. Trying to keep it polite over here. It's my sense of southern propriety kicking in. Y'all know.

I looked up RCN --- in Salem it looks as if they only offer dialup service. Bah humbug.
