Freedom of speech is under attack in the USA

Really? I'm on Windstream and have never had trouble accessing Google.

That lasted a grand total of 48 hours before I got irked enough to kill it in account prefs. Once was a fluke, twice was "Oh, the hell you think".

Still think it's intrusive and underhanded to begin with, but opt out at least made it go away reliably.

if you call them and say you've got noise on the phone line and the DSL is out, they fix it!)

You're lucky...my lines have been trashed for quite a while with several long outages. They don't give a rip. Phone is noisy and hard to use, and back on dialup you could hear it over the modem's speaker.

If it rains and the wind blows a certain way...it's all over for a couple days.

I liked em better when it was Alltel.
