I just got off the phone with Verizon and had them turn off all POTS 
lines except one.  Between the humming noise they seem to not be able to 
fix and CID problems with additional lines we just ordered, I think I've 
had enough of verizon over the last 3 days.

I'll keep the one line for when voip lines are down and shed the 
frustrations...

It'd be nice if T1's were more reasonably priced or FIOS was here.
