Dial tone services are under a different set of tariffs and technical
requirements than leased lines.

Yes, we have 28.8K modems in place on the ends of our lines. We do not 
and have not ever stated nor promised the performance of a Bell Atlantic
dial tone connection.  

Nor will anyone else in this business, unless you buy a leased line, because
there's no way that we can assure the quality of any single dial-up 
connection, nor the quality of the wire in your house, nor the quality of
the connections in the Central Office you are served out of.

We have worked with and continue to work with Bell Atlantic on these 
problems.  However, you're under the misimpression that dial-tone services
are guaranteed to do anything other than what the tariffs state.
