I got this glossy mailer from Time Warner Cable. In super large font, it asks: WHY HAVE 3 MILLION PEOPLE DUMPED THE PHONE COMPANY?
It answers its own question at the bottom by asking: DID THEY THINK THEY WERE PAYING TOO MUCH?
Which is all by way of saying that they want you to SWITCH! to their "DIGITAL HOME PHONE SERVICE". It's only $24.99/month!!
Hey, here's a newsflash from, like, 5 years ago: People are "dumping the phone company" because they have no fucking use for "home phones" anymore. Nice time to be getting into this market segment, ya dumbfucks.
Not that it needs to be pointed out, but everydamn person in the world over 8 years old has their own cell phone. Especially all the ones whose households have broadband subcriptions. "Home phone" numbers are only ever used by callers who don't have the person's cell phone or have no idea exactly who it is they are trying to get ahold of. In other words, telemarketers and bill collectors. They serve no other purpose. The only reason anyone still has them is force of habit.
Time Warner Cable further advises me to "Say NO to high phone bills". Thanks, genius.

Even me! heh.
We only still have a landline because cell phone service is so incredibly crappy at the House at the Edge of the Continent. Otherwise we'd probably let it go.
