We don't have internet services at my office (alright, so I am an old dog) and decided to check with various providers to compare costs. Cable wanted an arm and a leg. ATT, my phone co. provider, offers DSL. We don't need blinding speed because we only want to check insurance company benefits for patients. We don't electronically bill. Anyway, a really nice ATT rep reviewed my bill and noted that I was being <span style="font-style: italic">CRAMMED</span> in the worst way, paying for BS services that sneaked into my bill by deceptive practices. My new receptionist believes everybody that calls and prolly said the wrong thing to a crammer. So, I went from $260 per month for just phone service to $189 per month for same service (3 phones) PLUS DSL internet. My old receptionist of 35 years was tough and wiley. My new receptionist is a pushover. I would fire her but I am married to her......
 
When we had a phone line into the hangar we'd have people call constantly trying to "cram" stuff on us. I gave up talking and just started asking if I could put them on "hold", then I'd hang up. The word must have gotten out, after 6-8 months the calls slowed to a trickle :smile:

Sounds like an untenable situation to me. :jester:

...OTOH, nearly $100 a month in reduced overhead should be a "training incentive". :laugh:

Does your wife know?
 
LOL I'd watch my p's and q's too if I were in your shoes! We women don't take kindly to anything even bordering negative behavior. Fire her, NOT! Now, go hug her.
