Kudos to the long-suffering local Bell technicians who have been out to my house twice so far, trying to fix my sudden loss of internet connection (last Wednesday!) despite convoluted and in at least one case incorrect info from the mothership.
Especially the one who came by today and who had to check every phone in the house to make sure they had filters ... and when he got to the one in the basement (which I confess I've never looked at closely) the poor guy's eyes just bugged right out. "OMIGAWD, it's HARD-WIRED IN!!" No plug, no jack ... a rotary phone hardwired into the phone line. He said he couldn't remember the last time he saw one like that.
