DSL

Well I'm still with my phone company and I finally got DSL!! I went online and ordered it, to my surprise, I got the stuff. But guess what happened. I got my bill with a bunch of scam charges on it. I was livid. I made an angry call to the phone company, the man was very nice! He told me what to do and that he had the same problem. I had to call each number that I had been billed for and tell them to take it off, what a waste of time! But it worked, the charges came off my bill. I also found out that my son was the name they had this associated with. He swore the only thing he had put the phone number on was Ed McMann's Publishers Clearinghouse stuff. I knew he was entering it, but I saw no danger in it. Hmmm, very interesting. By the way most of the charges were from Oan Marketing. I also put a block on third party billing which costs $3 a month, well worth it. A local company is working on getting wireless out here, as soon as they do, I'm getting it and goodbye landline. It will cost about $40 a month rather than the $70 that I pay now. My only worry is how fast it will be. I will check that out before I switch.
