Around here, the POTS system has been bought and sold so many times I'm
losing track.  Looks like it's CenturyLink but it's now a DBA for
another company called Lumen.

My ISP is actually my local power board and I'm getting 300/300 fiber
for $20 a month with an extra $5 going towards a public-facing IPv4
address (without it, I couldn't run the BBS).  I'm very satisfied with
my service and when I can afford it, I'll switch to 1GB/1GB fiber for
$80 a month.

Loocks like with an ACP account, you can get free DSL but this service I
get is so much better and stable.

I can't get a price quote on a simple POTS line without "chatting with
an agent".  CenturyLink is notorious for its terrible customer service.

Since it's 27F out right now:
