   You're a moron. One thing is to do business and a different one is to charge   
   outrageously for their reconnections, that's bullshit. Not to mention that   
   they have a monopoly. It''s because of people like you that they get away with   
   all this bullshit. (And    
   this is for the guy with the sarcasm about the "nerve" of these companies   
   expecting you to pay for what you use).
