I disagree Karl - in our business we get 'fax broadcasts' every day or second day and I have found BC Tel singularly UNhelpful in getting these lowlifes off the air. I emphasize when I write to these creeps that under BC Tel Terms of Service a constantly busy phone or fax line does NOT meet BC Tel's requirements for having a place to contact to get off their fax list - I've even referred some of them not to BC Tel Customer Service but BC Tel Security (these are the folks who work hand in glove with the police on obscene calls and the like). So I'm very sorry but I can't agree with you that BC Tel takes the 'fax broadcasting' jerks seriously.
