I know how much it costs, because I used to have it.  My average phone bill
was about $5/month less.

Before I moved three years ago I had metropolitan service on my modem line
and measured service on my voice line.  When I moved and tried to set up
service at the new location they wouldn't let me have the measured line.
Perhaps the policy changed during the seven years I lived at my old
apartment, but they grandfathered existing customers.

This week, after two people responded to my post with email saying that
there was no such policy I called NET and tried to change my voice line to
measured, but they still wouldn't let me.  The woman asked me whether this
was a second line and (stupid me :-() I told the truth (I suppose I could
have truthfully said "no", since it was actually the first line).
