Not only is it quite likely the person isn't there anymore (this is MCI
after all) but emailing them would likely be fruitless or would result
in a reply along the lines of "Please contact customer service."
I actually had MCI residential quickly correct a billing mistake several
years back. Was a lot less than $946.36, too..
I wish that I could have enlisted the media when SBC screwed up another
T1 installation. I'm batting 0 for 3 with SBC so far, the most
interesting one was them testing a circuit clear across town, insisting
that it was mine. I'm sure many of you can beat me by miles, though..
