That is correct. Especially if you live in New York City. Our success rate lately on DS1 installs is around 30%. That's truly pathetic for the price paid. Add to that about a full day of calling various numbers of various CO clowns, and your install price has doubled. Now I've never had a problem with getting a $15/mo POTS line working on the first try... But then again it's not <sarcasm> "new" </sarcasm> technology like them thar DS1 lines.

In the end, all services, both traditional telephony services and data services, are more alike than people give them credit for. :-)
