You're lucky to find a phone in Los Gatos that works at all. You mean to say that it's WORSE in LA? How can that be? And in LA you have the advantage of being somewhere in the same region as their centralized everything. Also, I'm sure they have heard of equalized lines, data circuits, OPXs, and tie lines in the southland. There is so litte demand for that in the sleepy town of Los Gatos that installers take on their jobs with blank stares. Live a local call away from Los Gatos and say that again. I dare you.
