Just a follow up to the note I posted last week. New England Telephone now admits (verbally) that they were miss-billing (read overcharging) everyone in my exchange. They are willing to rebate me the amount they overcharged but I was told, "We can't rebate everyone since that would cost too much". I didn't hear any complaints about collecting too much money. They will rebate anyone who complains about it. This is sleaze at its finest. I do not know how many other bills are incorrect only that calls from Jamaica Plain to the 353 exchange were (are?) billed at the local zone 1 call rate and not the free local rate. With the kind of quality control that they operate with I would guess the system is riddled with errors. Has anyone else found such problems? I was told that there couldn't be an error since no one else complained. HAH! I am still waiting for a formal response before pushing the issue further. Scott Hannahs, F.
