Only because you let them cut off your copper. Granted you have to
fight HARD to avoid it.

Verizontal is very two-faced re: leaving POTS on copper. Their Suits have
testified in the House that Oh No, We'd NEVER force anyone... but every
person I know getting it installed has hit a brick wall on keeping their
copper service.

There are ways to do so. Put FIOS in another name. Have Foreign Exchange
service. In some cases, burgler alarm service will forstall it.
