Their wise to that now :) There seems to be a moratorium on "alarm circuits"
As I understand it this is illegal; as long as the service (alarm circuit, dry pair, whatever) is tariffed by whatever regulatory commission the telco lives under, they are required to provide the service when asked (and paid). I could be wrong though, it is hearsay. (or seeread, actually)
Bitch to your local regulatory commission and let us know what happens }:>
They may not be able to stop you from ordering a dry pair, but they may not have to run it directly from your point A to the CO to point B. They can run it 6 miles out to bumbleville and them to point B, thwarting your scheme.
