I know.
Clean phone line pair as well but I really had to become
a pest to the phone company to get it.

No there isn't and were they to offer it at a lower price they'd
likely gain a larger market share and enhanced revenues.
I just moved my broadcast T.V. antenna to another location for better
reception.
I boycott and don't support ripoffs either.

I've scheduled my move to a local ISP and another long distance carrier
for the very month Verizon raises it's phone service rates by 33 percent
and I figure It'll cost Verizon five dollars a month while saving me
5 dollars a month at the same time :-)

Would have been a savings of ten dollars/Mo to change ISP's but for
Verizon's rate increase.
