A week later, Embarq still seems to feel that we have a credit in the amount of fifty thousand dollars. I called today to inquire about that. The lady I talked to wanted to know what our phone bill "usually" ran. I allowed as how before we got rid of that damn clusterfuck it was around 7K per month but now that we were having two voice lines and a fax line, we expected it to be about a hundred dollars a month and, therefore, did not feel that we would be able to work off fifty thousand dollars of credit in a reasonable time frame. I inquired about the possibility of getting a refund check. I got shifted into voice mail, so I left a voicemail message. It will take a lot more than voicemail to get me to give up on fifty thousand dollars.

Assuming our current phone setup costs about $100.00 per month, fifty thousand dollars would pay the phone bill for approximately forty-one years. I think they need to send us a check.

How the heck does one run a $7k/m phone bill in the first place?

One runs an ISP. All them thar phone lines for people to dial into? They aren't free.

That makes sense.

actually, if you do it in a clever/evil way, not only are they free, but you can get verizon to pay you for the privilege.
