digital converter box -- surprising performance

[Brian Vita]

Its to prevent you from dumping Verizon if you don't like it.  Once the
copper has been pulled, its harder for a CLEC or ILEC (Competitive Local
Exchange Carrier) to take your account.  It’s the proverbial peeing in the
pool.

Right now, if I decided that I didn't want Verizon for my carrier but still
wanted a  basic POTS line (unlike the bastardized VOIP that Comcast uses,
there are some other carriers, such as One Communications, in the market.
They use facilities leased from Verizon to route the call to their switch.
If the copper isn't there, you can't do this.
