Y'know?  Your "Anglisch" goes all to hell when you're mad.  :-)

I've had three Telus Techies at my house over the years.  They're told
to terminate to the protector, make sure there's dial-tone, and leave.
Telus charges 100 smackers for that.  They call it a "basic connection
fee".  If you want the Techie in the house to hook up your phone lines,
that's an extra 25 smackers for every 15 minutes he's *in the house*.
After reading your "nightmare", it'll be a cold day in Sarasota that
they'll ever step over the thresh-hold.
