Die, telcos, die!

RCN provides our house with telephone service, cable modem, and cable television. I just switched another telephone line over to them because MCI charges too much for sucking.

But here's what I learned: RCN charges $7.00/month for Caller ID. Seven bucks for a service that is essentially free to them. Jeez. It makes me love my Vonage phone all the more.

(On the positive side, RCN silently upgraded its cable modem customers to 7 megabit service. Right now, DSLReports says I'm getting 5mbit down and an increasingly asymmetric 572kb up.)
