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.
