For all those complaining about TW and Embarq's business practices, how many of you are currently using TW or Embarq - regardless of where in the country you are located?

Okay, so they write a fantastic letter, discontinue, and then go where? This is the crux of the issue. Businesses like TW and Embarq are virtual monopolies. In the case of this town (and many, many others) there is no other option. Either pay them, or use dial-up (which still would require a phone line provided by one of these people usually...) "Voting with your feet" is great, but in this case the only other option is standing outside in the cold.

You're forced into left-brain mode. That becomes stressful.
