In Rhode Island, the only way you can get measured service installed
in a home that has unlimited service is to have an "apartment".
NETEL's definition of an "apartment" is a living area with stove and
bathroom.

So... There is one Sysop of a local BBS here who has measured service
lines installed all the time. To accomplish this, whenever he calls
for measured service, when NETEL shows up to hook up his new line, he
takes the little propane grill out of storage and sets it up. And,
since his basement already has an extra bathroom, and his bedroom is
down there too... voila!  instant apartment.
