Question would be

Are they replacing all the lost revenue from the fleeing POTS customers bailing to cellular, cable telephony and indy VoIP?

HA, HA!!! They started airing those "always on" commercials when I switched to cable VoIP back in January, that was the last straw for them, me leaving, LOLOLOLOL.

My Digital Phone is always on as well and I have no intention of going back to Verizon. If anything, I will use another VoIp provider if necessary.

I switched to Viatalk during that 2 years for 1 promotion and have been pretty happy. I have cell as a backup and my home alarm system already had a cellular backup module (because the NID is accessable from the front yard side of my fence) so even if Viatalk not totally reliable it won't bother me much. Time Warner offers digital phone service but it's pretty expensive. It isn't much cheaper than POTS.

Yeah, the taxes are less than POTS, though, and actually is a little cheaper with my triple play bundle. It comes to $33.91 instead of 39.99. I was paying $65.79 w/Verizon.

DP works w/my alarm system.

"In the first quarter, Verizon lost 925,000 lines from year-end levels -- meaning it has lost 7.9% of the lines it had at March 31, 2006. The cancellation rate is up from 7.6% in the fourth quarter and 6.9% a year ago. "

Looks then like the answer would be no.
